Notes on Hot Springs in Hokkaido It is a pity that there are no hot springs in Japan in winter, but there are many places to pay attention to when going to hot springs. First of all, we must be civilized, and there are other precautions that everyone should know.

Japan is an Gao Wenming country, so we should strictly abide by the local sense of order and match words with deeds. Hot spring bathing in Japan is very particular and a kind of culture. It is strange that the Japanese have raised everything they need to do to a certain height, which is what we often call a "sense of ritual". Hot springs are a kind of Japanese culture, and it is very meaningful to see pictures related to them in hot spring rooms. )

Now that we have mentioned hot springs, let's popularize the knowledge about Japanese hot springs and the problems that need attention here.

Before soaking in hot springs, it is best to know the types of hot springs and choose according to your own conditions, so as to truly achieve the expected purpose of soaking in hot springs and avoid harm to your body. According to the classification of water quality, hot springs are generally divided into neutral carbonate springs, alkaline sodium bicarbonate springs, salt springs and sulfur springs. Hot springs with different water quality have different curative effects on different diseases. For example, pure spring water with various components has a convalescent effect on neuralgia, rheumatism and skin diseases; Carbonated springs containing carbon dioxide are good for treating hypertension and heart disease.

1, it is best not to soak it alone to avoid accidents.

2. Before bathing, wash your body outside the pool and clean your body into the pool;

Don't bring towels into the hot spring pool. You can put the towel next to the bathtub, or fold it and put it on your head.

4. Do not wash your hair or body in the hot spring pool, and do not use soap or shampoo in the hot spring pool;

Don't talk loudly, don't play, swim or run in the hot spring pool, and keep quiet.

6. Avoid hot springs on an empty stomach, after meals or after drinking. There should be at least one hour between taking a hot spring bath and eating time.

7. Be sure to take off your metal jewelry, or the jewelry will be vulcanized into black.

8. Choose a hot spring pool that adapts to its own high, medium and low temperature, generally from low temperature to high temperature, and it should not exceed 15 minutes at a time.

9, hot springs should not be soaked for a long time, otherwise there will be chest tightness, thirst, dizziness and other phenomena. When you feel dry mouth and chest tightness in the spring water, you have to rest by the pool or have a drink to replenish water.

10, don't soak in hot springs that are too hot and sour, and the temperature is 30 ~ 45℃.

1 1. People with dry skin should apply moisturizing lotion immediately after soaking in hot springs to avoid discomfort caused by a large loss of skin moisture.

12. After soaking in hot springs, you don't have to rinse with clean water, but strong acid hot springs and hydrogen sulfide hot springs are irritating, so it's best to rinse again to prevent side effects, and people with skin allergies should pay more attention.

13, people with heart disease, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, before soaking in hot springs, should use hot springs to wipe their bodies slowly, and then soak in hot springs, not to soak in hot springs at once, so as not to affect blood vessel contraction. Patients with hypertension should not be exposed to cold air immediately when taking a bath (it is easy to cause a stroke).

14. If you feel uncomfortable in the hot spring, you should leave and stop soaking in the hot spring.

15. Acidic and alkaline substances such as sulfur contained in hot springs can diminish inflammation and sterilize, which is quite effective for general infectious or parasitic skin diseases, but sometimes it can irritate skin wounds and cause deterioration, and even lead to "hot spring skin diseases".

16, you must wear a bathrobe left. If you wear it backwards, you will be misunderstood that you are wearing the clothes of people (dead people) from another world. Just remember that the dressing method of bathrobe is the principle of "upper left".

These are the official details. Attention. But at least remember some simple knowledge. Be sure to go in and wash before soaking in the hot spring. Don't take towels to the hot springs. Don't bring any ornaments, tattoos or skin diseases with you. Keep quiet and enjoy yourself. These can not only make our own bodies fully enjoy the pleasure brought by hot springs, but also not add embarrassment to others. This is why the details of Japanese hot springs have always been so ritualized.
