What does 露天風呂 mean, and how is it read?

露天風呂 is read ろてんぶろ.

It means an open-air bath or outdoor hot spring bath.

• 露天 = open air / outdoors
• 風呂 = bath

So 露天風呂に入った means got into an open-air bath.

Why is the particle に used after 露天風呂?

It is used because the verb 入る often takes に when it means to enter or to get into something.

So:

• 露天風呂に入る = to get into the open-air bath
• 部屋に入る = to enter a room

A useful pattern is:

place に 入る = enter that place / get into that thing

For baths, tubs, rooms, and trains, に入る is very common.

Why is it 入った and not 入る or 入って?
