They’re sex people.

These other pictures make it seem really charming. But I don’t get why in one picture it’s on a wooden platform, but not the other.

When you want the feel of bathing outdoors, but with a greater sense of privacy.

At least until you see there’s a big window peering right through into that space, lmao

I think it’s pretty cool actually. I’d have shit tons of plants and make it feel peaceful.

Just wondering why you can see out into the backyard from there though, that’s the weird part.

I would love that. I live in Japan and have considered trying to build an outdoor bath in the future since we enjoy going to them at hotsprings.

This is clearly a house still under construction/refurbishment. The floors look newly installed, there is loose wiring hanging from the ceiling for a new fan/lighting fixture, the frame on the biggest window isn’t painted yet, I think I still see scratch protection film on the sliding glass doors, and the tub is still covered in plastic. I highly doubt the intention is to leave it and install it there. Almost certainly, it is just sitting out of the way while they installed new flooring before they bring it in the to the bathroom for install. Someone else in the comments posted another photo where you can see it is sitting on cardboard too.

Edit: I actually opened the listing and saw the description and more photos. I stand corrected. Bafflingly, this was the final spot for that tub, it was intentional and they are advertising it like a cool feature. Smh. Still don’t know why it is covered in plastic wrap.
