While enjoying hot springs in Japan, pay attention to the below points to ensure your health and safety, and have a wonderful hot spring trip! ๐๐
๐ Don't drink alcohol.๐บ It is very easy to fall asleep๐ด while taking a bath and drown. In addition, it is easy to dehydrate under high temperatures, which is very dangerous!
๐ Wear a yukata ๐. Onsen ryokan guests are given a kimono-like yukata during their stay. The Japanese custom is to wear the right side of the yukata under the left side. These rules are the same for both men and women. Do not cross the right side of the yukata over the left as this is the traditional way for the deceased to wear a yukata in Japan. Women should wear the belt around the waist and men should wear it around the hips.
๐ You can bring a towel to cover, wipe sweat or wrap your hair.
๐ Bring a hydrating drink. Soaking in hot springs will deplete the body's water. ๐ฅต Some hot spring hotels also have vending machines.
๐ No tattoos if they're visible. Tattoos have been associated with crime in the past, and people who commit crimes have them. For the sake of publicity, Japanese hot springs basically do not allow people with tattoos to enter. If you have a tattoo, please ask the counter staff first or prepare a tattoo cover-up sticker.
๐ Once you arrive at the hot springs, don't forget to take off your shoes and place them neatly at the entrance.
