What is the process for soaking in hot springs in Japan?

First, you need to enter the locker room, lock your mobile phone, wallet and other valuables into the locker, and keep the keys. Put the clothes in the small baskets on the rack and fold them. In Japan, both hot springs and public bathhouses provide toiletries, you just need to bring your own towels.

Some hot spring hotels will place a small basket specifically for bathing in your room, which should contain the locker keys for the locker room, slippers, towels and other toiletries. Just take that basket with you and go soak.

Step one: Before entering the hot spring bath, wash your body in the shower. Generally, each person occupies a small grid, which contains toiletries, a basin and a stool. At this time, you can imitate the people around you and see how they do it.

Step 2: Generally speaking, showering is done while sitting on a stool. The process you can refer to is to wet your body with a shower first, then fill the basin with water while washing your hair. After washing your head, lift the basin and splash the water over your head. Then start washing your body, applying lotion, water, and washing. After rinsing your body, you can enjoy the hot springs.
