Soapland: A Peek into the Curious History

The name "Soapland" might spark curiosity, but it carries a fascinating history. It all began with the Turkish bath, a practice rooted in Roman public bath culture, later infused with the unique "bubble scrubber" element by the Turks. Over time, the Japanese integrated aspects of the Thai bath into this tradition, creating a new bathing experience. Due to a naming controversy, this bathing style eventually became known in Japan as "Soapland," a name that sounds both whimsical and intriguing.
