    But just because it's drinkable doesn't mean that you should drink it. You don't know how many guys (and girls) washed their body in it.

    Usually, it's either from a separate tap, or you take it from where it comes out. Not from the bath itself. (Source: done it before)

    Plus, you wash before getting in the bath, so it's marginally cleaner.

    Wait wait wait, he's actually going to use the used bathwater...for laundry? -___-

    Thats actually pretty common.

    Honestly speaking, I still do so (albeit for wool clothes and other fabrics which can't go in the washing machine :p ).

    Figuratively speaking, the hot tub is for cleaning the mind and soul, not the body

    When you think about it, if you're particularly dirty and you want to relax in a bath, you don't want to be lounging around in dirty grimy water with floating grass and who knows what else mixed in your water right?

    That's from the son who just got back home from baseball match and jump straight into the tub. :)

    Daddy is going to explode with the piled up stress.

    Japanese consider their bathwater clean because they rinse and shower before they soak.

    Okay, the thing is, because life in Japan isn't as good as people would think it to be, they need to be trying to reduce as much money in everyday life cost. And so, even for bath tub's water, they would cover it up and use it for 3-4 days. How? They wash their body outside, also with hot water or some, with cold, it depends. Once they are sure their body is clean, they would then get into the bath tub. And so, the water in the tub is clean and can be used for 3-4 days, possibly 5. But of course, there are people who use that water for other purposes, including drinking them. Not that drinking it would be seen as common sense and kind of done by perverts only as it's commonly thought.

    ANd that, is for anyone wondering what others are talking about. Yes, innocent people. I'm here to stain you.

    Despite knowing the cultural facts and being way stained, I am still sure they wouldn't drink it... I hope?

    It's easy enough to clean out water for drinking. In thailand, I grew up drinking river water(the same rivers we use for fishing). And very often, I'd go down the the river carrying a pot, bring it back home and my grandma would use a metal filter and then boil said water.

    Drinking a cleanish bath water that is only used for soaking(and not cleaning in japanese culture) makes complete sense to me.
