There is just no better way to find true relaxation than to take a long soak in a Japanese whirlpool tub, also known as an Ofuro bathtub.

En 1954, les Jacuzzis ont breveté la pompe "Whirlpool", qu'ils ont perfectionné plus tard et couplé à des jets en utilisant un système "venturi".

Although wooden tubs were the most common type of hot tub in the 1970s, one-piece hot tubs now dominate the market as they are less expensive to manufacture, easier to install, and more energy efficient. In America, these kinds of tubs are also incorrectly referred to as Jacuzzi or Whirlpool tubs, though both are brand names.
Example sentence:

Each room has its own whirlpool jacuzzi, specially modelled to resemble the style of the deep Japanese baths commonly found in Japanese bathrooms (Ofuro).
