Bating Japanese style
I think SzélsőFa's bathtub is deffernt of our bathtub. And it is defferent of bathing Japanese style.
I found a good derection of blog how to take a bath in Japan.
When bathing Japanese style, you are supposed to first rinse your body outside the bath tub with some water from the tub, using a washbowl. Afterwards, you enter the tub, which is used for soaking only. The bath water tends to be relatively hot for Western bathing standards. If you can barely enter, try not to move much, since moving around makes the water appear even hotter.
After soaking for a while, leave the tub and clean your body with soap. Make sure that no soap gets into the bathing water. Once you finished cleaning yourself and rinsed all the soap off your body, enter the bath tub once more for some more soaking. After leaving the tub, do not drain the water, since all household members will use the same water.
Modern bath tubs can be programmed to be automatically filled with water of a given temperature at a given time, or to heat up the water to a preferred temperature.
Do you understand my feeling?
I don't want to wash my body in a bath tub.
When I try to wash my body in a bath tub at a western style hotel, I can't soak in the buthtub again. Because water is dirty.
I don't know western familly's bathroom. I just see movies.
When I watched movies with my mother , why their bath tub had a lot of bubbles? After they took a bath, how they do it?
Movie was just movie. Actor was very cool. They got on their bathrobe soon without washing their bubbles......

Oh I understand now!
Thank you for the detalied description.
I understand that you feel the water dirty if you use soap and rub the dirt off your body in a tub water. You feel it dirty, because it is dirty. But this is just how the western people use it.
Well most of us, I suppose would have a bath the following way.
1. Fill up the tub with hot water.
2. Most people add soap right at the same time with water - to make the bubbles.
3. Take off clothes and get into water.
4. Soak and wash body. Some people read in the bath :)
5. Rinse off the dirty water with a quick shower afterwards.
6. Drain the water - for only those who really care about the environment would use the same tub water for each person.
(You see, most people dislike bathing in dirty, cold and USED water - but some say we have to spare water resources...
I haven't had a bath for years.... because I only have a shower!
In Australia most people shower, and baths are for children or special occasions when you want to relax. I think the reason we shower in Australia is because it takes less time and uses less water, and we do not have much water in Australia now because of drought.

Young children have been known to share a bath. Which makes for an interesting wash time
"Dadddddd, Tom's widdled in the bath!"
SzélsőFa,
Thank you for infomeation.
When I was young, I imajined to teke a bath in the bubbles. It was movie's actors.
The Man at the Pub,
Do you like beer?
I heard a amusement places have beer bath, wine bath, cofee bath and milk bath in Japan.
We don't have a chance to go that place. If we go to that, I will post about a lot of baths.
LanternLight,
Of course, I don't like dirty water. But we use it only in our familly. And we don't wash our body in the bath.
The Man at the Pub said "we do not have much water." Yes, of course.
Japanese's mother used water use
washing.
That sounds pretty time consuming and a lot of effort just for a bath. We mostly just use the shower here.
So my question who gets the first bath and who gets the last?
Jay,
When I was young, my mother used to make hot water of bath with coals in stove of bath.
Now we just put on bouton. It is easy to get hot water.
-LGirl-,
When I live in my grand parents, house holder took a bath at first.
But now young daughters(about 20 ages) don't like to take a bath after their fathers. LOL
