Rules for Hot Springs and Public Baths

When using a hot spring (onsen) or public bath (sento), it is common courtesy to wash your body thoroughly before entering the bathtub. Please also make sure not to put your towel into the bath water, and be mindful not to cause discomfort to other customers. Regarding tattoos, some facilities may restrict entry for guests with tattoos, so we recommend checking with the facility in advance. --- Source: Immigration Services Agency of Japan "Life and Work Guidebook" 第8版 https://www.moj.go.jp/isa/support/portal/guidebook_all.html This article was reorganized by ＳＩＡデジタルテクノロジー株式会社 based on the above source. ※This language version is a machine translation from the Japanese version (ＳＩＡデジタルテクノロジー株式会社).
