Japanese soaking tubs, traditionally called ofuro, are shorter and much deeper than Western bathtubs. You sit upright with water up to your shoulders instead of lying back in a few inches of it. Our stone resin soakers follow that principle: deep basins, simple lines, and a material that holds heat the way a thick-walled wooden ofuro does, minus the wood maintenance.

The proportions. A traditional ofuro trades length for depth, which is also what makes the style practical: if your bathroom can’t take a 67″ tub, a compact deep soaker gives you a fuller soak in less floor space.
Classic ofuro are made of hinoki cypress. They’re beautiful, and they’re also a maintenance commitment most people regret. Stone resin gives you the two qualities that made hinoki desirable in the first place, heat retention and a warm matte feel, without the upkeep. There’s more in our ofuro bathtub guide.
Deep tubs concentrate weight in a small footprint, so check your floor load, and plan a step or surround if anyone in the house will want help getting in. Drain rough-in and faucet pairing are covered in the installation guide.
Ofuro is simply the Japanese word for bath. In practice it means a short, deep tub used for relaxing after you’ve washed, with the bather seated upright and immersed to the shoulders.
Usually 22 to 27 inches of water depth. A standard Western tub holds around 14 to 16.
They’re arguably the best tub for a small bathroom, since the design trades length for depth. Many ofuro-style tubs fit where a standard 60″ tub won’t.
