What should I pay special attention to when going to Japan for hot springs?

The requirements of all hot springs in Japan are: shower before entering the pool; Enter the bath without wearing any clothes; Don't go into the bathroom with slippers. These messages will not be prompted, but please follow them consciously, otherwise you will be despised and fined.

Before soaking in water

1. Be sure to know the opening hours of hot springs before soaking in them. Some hot spring hotels in Japan will set a specific time for male and female guests to use the same bath, that is, only people of a specific gender can use it at a specific time. (For example: 17:00- 19:00 female; 19:00-2 1:00 male) If you rush in without knowing beforehand, the scene will be very embarrassing.

2. Almost all traditional Japanese hot springs are closed to tattooed guests. (Not only hot springs, but also public places such as beaches)

So people with tattoos can't go to hot springs? ! No, you can also choose private soup (private bath). Oh, there is no limit. Because in Japan, tattoos are usually found in the underworld, and being with people with big arm tattoos on their backs will make others feel very stressed.

When you enter the dressing room, please take off your clothes and put them in the basket or cupboard in the dressing room. Please don't enter the bathing area wrapped in a bath towel, but you can cover your private parts with a slightly larger towel. Before taking a hot spring bath, be sure to wash your body with a small bathtub or shower in the bathing place. Be careful not to spill water on others. This is impolite. Of course, although everyone is honest with each other, it is not good to stare at other people's bodies.

4, because Japanese hot spring pools are relatively small, unlike domestic bathhouses. You can't wear shoes when entering the hot spring area. You need to enter barefoot. But the edge of the swimming pool is usually slippery, so when entering the water, you should pay attention to entering the water slowly to avoid slipping. 5. You can have a bottle of milk before soaking. Generally, there will be a vending machine at the door. I suggest you buy a bottle, because you will feel thirsty after soaking in hot springs for a long time and sweating too much. At this time, a bottle of milk is the most suitable!
