How did the Japanese habit of bathing together as a family come about?

In fact, there is no special reason why Japanese families take a bath together. The main reason is that Japan’s water resources are very scarce. This has led many Japanese to develop the habit of saving water since childhood. But the reason why many people misunderstand this matter is that the Japanese will choose a bucket of water for the whole family to take a bath. There is no such thing as the whole family taking a bath together, because society has developed to this day, and many people have a sense of shame. Of course, it is also possible that the children took a bath together when they were young, which is very possible.

Of course, first of all, it is because this is a unique culture of Japan. There is even a concept in Japan of daughters taking a bath with their parents when they get married. Of course, this may be a so-called cultural tradition in Japan. Although it may feel a little shameful, the main reason may be that Japan’s water fees are too high and they pay more attention to saving water resources because Japan is a country with water resources. A very poor country.

Although Japan has such a tradition, as a country, we should respect other people’s customs and habits. Of course, this is just a formalism, and we would also talk to our parents when we were young. We take baths together, but as we get older, we will also feel some shame. But there are some more traditional people who still choose to do this because they feel that this way they can better express their feelings to their families, communicate with each other, and have smoother relationships. Of course, it is not only suitable for their fathers but also with their own children. Brothers and sisters take a bath together and share their feelings.

So when you arrive in Japan, you must respect other people’s customs and habits, and never ask questions, because this is a very impolite behavior. Of course, if you think the customs are very strange, you can also ask. Why do you do this? Of course, this is also out of respect for other people's customs and habits. Don't say you can't do this because it is disrespectful.
