The Art of Deep Soaking
Our cedar ofuro tubs are deep, compact soaking tubs built by hand in Eugene, Oregon. Inspired by traditional Japanese deep-soaking baths, they feature natural wood interiors and are designed for drain-and-fill use — no chemicals, filtration, or complex systems needed.
At 27" deep, they provide full-body immersion in a seated position — ideal for meditative soaking, heat therapy, or cold plunging. Suitable for indoor wet rooms, spa bathrooms, or outdoor garden installations.
Unlike our cedar hot tubs with fiberglass linings designed to stay filled continuously, ofuros follow traditional bathing practice: fill with hot water, soak, then drain after use.

Typically yes. Exterior width is approximately 31–35", which fits through most standard doorways when rotated. The empty tub weighs about 200 lbs. Contact us if you have narrow doorways or access concerns.
Minimal. Drain after each use, rinse if desired, allow to air dry. No chemicals or sealants needed. Outdoor tubs weather naturally or can be maintained with wood oil. The natural wood darkens slightly with use — this is normal and desirable.
