Today falls on the Winter Solstice.

It is a long tradition in Japan to enjoy a hot bath with a kind of citrus fruits in the bathtub on the night of the midwinter. The refreshing smell and the nice feeling of the water help you to relax.

I read a comment in a post on the Instagram that this custom also shows the Japanese people’s love of taking a bath.

今日は冬至。

柚子湯はこの寒い時季のいい習慣だと思います。

誰かがインスタに、日本人の風呂好きがよく分かると書いておられました。
