Japan does take the bath pretty seriously. All of the ones the old guy talks about are pretty much universal.

On the "man" theme, and just to show how subtle the humor of this show is... In Japan it's traditional for boys to bathe in a bath with iris leaves because it's thought to help give them samurai spirit. Well, did you notice the sign at the bathhouse when Hiroshi was grtting into his bath?
