How it's used
This term is a direct loan translation often used to describe Japanese style public bathhouses or facilities that focus on hot water soaking. It is not a traditional term for local Hong Kong public baths, which are historically referred to as 澡堂. Using this term implies a modern or foreign context rather than a local neighborhood facility.
