Do you all know the etiquette of getting into a hot tub in a public bathing facility?When you enter a bathtub in your own house, you are free to enter and there is no problem.However, this is not the case in public bathing facilities.Here, we would like to introduce how to share a bathtub in a public bathing facility (public bathhouse, hot spring) comfortably.
(1) Take off your clothes in the changing room and put them in a basket or locker.
(2) Enter the facility with a towel or hand towel.
(3) Before entering the bathtub, wash your body with a van and your head with shampoo. Some facilities may not have soap and shampoo. Therefore, it is a good idea to bring your favorite soap or shampoo.Wash the towel or hand towel you used to wash your body in cold water to remove the soap, and wring it out well.
(4) To ensure that you do not forget to remove the soap lather, pour the hot water from the bathtub into a washbasin and pour the hot water from the bathtub over your shoulders once each. It is a good idea to make sure that the water is not too hot at that time.
(5) Get into the bathtub slowly. Do not put a towel or hand towel in the bathtub at that time. Fold the towel or hand towel and place it on your head so that you do not lose it. It is useful for wiping sweat off your face when it gets sweaty.
(6) You should take a light shower after getting out of the bathtub. This is recommended because you may have other people’s hair on your body.
(7)Before returning to the changing room, wipe off any water on your body with a towel or hand towel. This is to prevent the changing rooms from becoming waterlogged.
(8)Wipe your body with a dry towel and change clothes.
This is the order of use of public bathing facilities.As a trivia, it is a good idea to carry your clothes and underwear in a small bag or sack. If you have a plastic bag, you can carry used wet towels, hand towels, soiled clothes, underwear, etc. in the bag or sack to avoid getting the bag or sack wet.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
