Let me introduce you how to enjoy such Japanese baths and how to enjoy them, attention points.

 

1.Manners· Points to remember

· Wearing swimsuit is prohibited.

· Unfortunately, many people with tattoos can not take a bath.

(It is ok if you hide it with a large bandage platter, hide it with a supporter, and recently it is okay for a tattooed bath as well.)

· Before entering the bathtub, let’s sweat the body in the washroom.

· Try not to put a towel in the bathtub.

· Even if the temperature of hot water is high, filling with water etc. will result in violation of manners.

· When washing your body, be careful that hot water does not scatter around you.

· You can not swim in the tub.

 Tattoo Hidden Recommendation

Unfortunately, in Japan there are irrational prejudices against the tattoo, and something unnecessarily visible may be disliked.
In Japan, the fact that the tattoo has been related to sinners and gangsters in history seems to have led to prejudice now.
However, recently tattoos have been recognized as one of self-expression methods, one of fashionable, mainly by young people.

So, I will show you how to hide tattoos in a bath.
