Guidelines for Bathing in Japanese Public Baths

Adhering to the customary procedures in Japan's traditional public baths shows respect and ensures a harmonious experience for everyone.

• Begin by thoroughly rinsing your body before approaching the baths.

• Immerse and relax in the warm bathtubs.

• Step out and lather up with soap, ensuring you're away from the bathtubs.

• Dive in again for a soothing soak in the bathtubs.

• Once done, give yourself a final rinse.

• Towel off excess moisture prior to stepping into the changing area.

• Those with tattoos or who've consumed alcohol are not permitted in the baths.

• Bathing areas are strictly for bare skin; no underwear or swimwear.

• Capture memories in your mind, not on camera: no photography in the baths or changing rooms.

Key Reminder: Avoid using soap or shampoo inside the bathtubs!
