How do you read 湯船 and かけ湯?

• 湯船 is read ゆぶね
• かけ湯 is read かけゆ

A quick breakdown:

• 湯 = hot water
• 船 = boat, vessel, tub-like container → in 湯船, it refers to the bathtub/tub filled with hot water
• かけ湯 = pouring hot water over your body before entering the bath

So both words are very common in bathhouse or hot spring contexts.

What exactly does 湯船 mean here? Is it the same as お風呂?

Not exactly.

• 湯船 means the actual tub of hot water that you soak in.
• お風呂 can mean the bath, bath time, the bathroom, or bathing in general, depending on context.

In this sentence, 湯船 is used because the focus is specifically on entering the tub itself, not just bathing in general.

So:

• 湯船に入る = get into the tub
• お風呂に入る = take a bath / get in the bath

They can overlap, but 湯船 is more specific.

Why is there に after 湯船?
