According to local media, two Japanese comedians have been shooting a TV show there, in which they drive through different cities of the world in a traditional Japanese bath and talk to the residents.
When they came to Vladivostok, the temperature in the city was about 3°C (37.4°F), but the water in the bathtub was heated automatically, the report says.
However, only a few people risked joining comedians in the bath and having a talk with them, the report says. Instead most of the passers-by were more interested in taking pictures of the unusual attraction.
