The bathroom is one of the places in the house where older people have the most accidents. In Japan, where seniors bathe almost every day, there are very simple customs to ensure that this moment is calm and safe.

In this video, you'll discover 15 Japanese customs about bathing after 60: why the ofuro (hot tub) isn't for washing, the "kakeyu" (a ritual bath) before entering the bath, the recommended temperature and time, thermal shock in winter, dizziness upon standing, why it's not advisable to use soap all over your body every day, applying lotion in the first few minutes, why you should cut your nails after bathing, the "ashiyu" foot bath, and the "seishiki" (a warm towel bath).

👵 Share it with your parents or another older person who lives alone.
