Translation guide
In Japanese, the word ジャグジー (jagujī) is a common loanword for a jacuzzi or whirlpool bath. However, it is often used more broadly to refer to any type of whirlpool bath or hot tub, not just the brand. In many contexts, especially at public baths or hot springs, the term 泡風呂 (awaburo) or ジェットバス (jettobasu) may be used. When referring to the experience, it's common to use phrases like 泡風呂に入る (awaburo ni hairu).
Referring to a bathtub with jets that create bubbles and massage, often in a home or hotel.
The most direct loanword for 'jacuzzi'. Widely understood, especially in commercial contexts like hotels or spas. Note that it may be used generically for any whirlpool bath.

Literally 'bubble bath'. Often used for baths with jets that produce bubbles, including jacuzzis. Common in public baths and hot springs.

This is a genuine Jacuzzi (trademark).
In Japanese, 泡風呂 can refer to any bath with bubbles, including those created by bath additives, not just mechanical jets. If you specifically mean a jacuzzi with jets, use ジャグジー or ジェットバス to avoid confusion.
