How to Take a Japanese-Style Bath at Home

One easy way to make your bathroom seem as Japanese as possible is to add some natural elements, like stones, says Decatrel — you can easily pick these up for cheap at Home Depot, then just place them along the age of your tub. The right bath mat will also transform your tub. "A bamboo bath mat changes everything instantly," says Decatrel. Finally, add an unscented white candle to your bathroom. "This ties into the Japanese aesthetic," says Decatrel. While you should steer clear of checking Facebook or Instagram while you're in the tub, feel free to play some calming music. Decratel herself actually puts together playlists for customers so that they can more easily immerse themselves in the Japanese bath experience.
