Description of the Related Art Conventionally, while taking a bath, a bather cannot numerically confirm how relaxed he / she is when he / she takes a bath, and can obtain a sense of security that he / she is relaxing by taking a bath. could not. In recent years, there has been provided a bathing apparatus that sucks hot and cold water in the bathtub and discharges it again into the bathtub for circulation. In this bathing apparatus, the discharge flow velocity for discharging hot and cold water into the bathtub is usually constant. In this way, since the flow velocity is constant regardless of the degree of relaxation of the bather, the flow velocity is too slow during bathing and sufficient relaxation cannot be obtained, or the flow velocity is too fast, which is an obstacle to relaxation. There was a problem. Therefore, it is conceivable to make the discharge flow rate variable, but in this case, the degree of relaxation and the switching of the flow rate do not always correspond, and in this case as well,
The optimum flow rate could not be adjusted according to the degree of relaxation of the bather.

入浴装置。3. A bathing device for sucking hot water in a bathtub, discharging it again into the bathtub and circulating it, a measuring section for measuring a cardiac radio wave of a bather bathing in the bathtub of the bathing device, and a measured heart. A biological information detecting unit that detects an interval between R waves of a heartbeat from an electric wave, and a calculating unit that frequency-analyzes this R wave interval and obtains a variation amount of a respiratory variation component that is a component up to about 0.08 Hz in a power spectrum. And a display unit for displaying the value obtained by the calculation unit as the degree of relaxation when the bather takes a bath.
