What diet should Japanese hot spring tourism pay attention to?

1. Don't soak in hot springs immediately after a long trip. You need a proper rest before entering the hot spring pool.

2. Before entering the hot spring pool, take a small amount of hot spring water in a wooden bucket and pour it on yourself, then wash your body, starting with your hands and feet, and then wash your hair. This can make the body gradually adapt to the hot spring water temperature (to avoid the sudden drop of blood pressure and dizziness caused by anemia).

3. Avoid hot springs on an empty stomach or after meals, which will cause anemia or indigestion.

4. Avoid soaking in hot springs after drinking. Taking a bath after drinking is most likely to cause accidents (heart or cardiovascular diseases).

5. Hot spring water temperature is divided into low temperature and high temperature. Tourists should gradually adapt to low hot springs. When taking a bath, it is forbidden to jump in and enter slowly. After the upper body gradually warms up, it will slowly soak into the shoulders.

6. Bathing time is generally about 5 ~ 10 minutes each time, and it is repeated 2 ~ 3 times. Hot springs with low water temperature can last for 20 to 30 minutes. The number of baths should be within 2 to 3 times a day, and frequent bathing is not advisable. Too many baths will lead to excessive physical exertion, but it will cause fatigue and backfire.

7. There is no need to take a shower after taking a shower. Pay attention to let the skin dry naturally, which is beneficial to absorb the effective ingredients in hot springs. However, the hydrogen sulfide hot springs in strongly acidic hot springs are very irritating. If you don't rinse your mouth after washing, your skin will be easily damaged. Therefore, after taking a bath, you should decide whether to take a bath according to the nature of the hot spring.

8. Be careful not to catch a cold after taking a bath. Put on your bathrobe and go back to your room to rest. In addition, you should also drink water or drinks properly to supplement the water lost by your body when soaking in hot springs.
