How to soak in hot springs in Japan? Hot spring Japanese hotel is a compulsory stop for Japanese tourism.

1. In Japan, you must take a shower before entering the hot spring pool and rub it thoroughly. In this way, it is to maintain the quality and hygiene of hot springs. After all, it is a spring pool enjoyed by everyone. Secondly, it is harmful to the body if you directly enter the hot spring from a very low temperature environment, so you must bathe first to adapt your body to the temperature. In addition, please don't stand and wash in the bathing place in the non-independent compartment, so as to avoid splashing foam on others. Shopkeepers will prepare small stools and water basins. Remember to put the stools and water basins back after bathing, and it is best to wash the foam on the ground.

2. Japanese hot springs are usually inseparable. Although this makes most foreigners unaccustomed, please do as the Romans do. It is also not allowed to rub towels in the pool. Towels can be placed on the head or on the edge of the pool, and the water that wrings towels cannot fall into the pool. Long hair must also be curled up. Otherwise, it will attract reprimand and even fine from the administrator.

3. Some hot spring hotels that provide accommodation will prepare hot spring bathrobes for guests, and passengers will change into them in their rooms before going to the hot springs. Hot spring bathrobes are worn in the same way as kimonos, with the left lapel on the top and the right lapel on the bottom. Never wear them backwards. The dead wear it backwards!

Other things to pay attention to:

① If you have a large tattoo on your body, please ask the shopkeeper if you can take a bath. Japan believes that tattooers may be related to the underworld and are afraid of getting into trouble.

② When soaking in the pool, please say hello or nod to the people who are already in the pool. Do not jump into the pool and splash.

③ When taking a hot spring bath, don't make any noise, chase or splash water on each other, so as not to affect others and attract complaints.
