In the 100 Thank You Bath, children and store staff who visit Buko Onsen float cypress trees with messages written to their grandparents in the bath to express their daily gratitude.
For a long wooden bath, a single long log is placed in the bath. This bath is a combination of the words “long wood” and “long life,” and is a symbol of longevity.
