soaking tub

Immersion bathing vessel

A soaking tub is a bathtub designed for immersion rather than showering, typically deeper than standard tubs to allow water to cover the bather's body up to the shoulders.

The design originated in Japan, where bathing emphasizes relaxation over washing.

The master bathroom features a freestanding soaking tub by the window.
