The water in each tub completely changes over every 12 minutes, so you can be sure your bath is hygienic.

All the hot tubs are equipped with powerful massaging jets. The indoor wooden hot tubs have stereo systems to listen to music while you soak away your cares.

They also use bromine rather than chlorine to sanitize the water, as bromine is much gentler on the skin and means that the water used in the tub is pure enough to drink.
