お風呂に入ります

The word '風呂' (furo) originally referred to a steam bath or sauna-like facility in temples, and its use dates back to the Heian period (794-1185). Over time, it evolved to mean a communal bathhouse and then a private bath in one's home. The 'お' (o) is an honorific prefix, adding politeness to the word. '入ります' (hairimasu) is the polite form of '入る' (hairu), meaning 'to enter.' So, literally, it means 'I will enter the honorable bath.' This phrase is a common and polite way to announce one's intention to take a bath in Japanese culture, often used to inform others in the household.
