]]>While nudity around other people is a very rare occurrence in countries like America, it’s actually totally normal in other places, such as Japanese onsen. After all, it is a spa, right? Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it quickly and notice that nobody is looking at or judging other people.
Think of onsen less like a bath and more like a sauna or a steam room, meaning you’re not using them to get clean. In fact, you need to be clean before you even get in. So don’t forget to shower before entering your onsen!
Some things aren’t usually allowed in onsen. One is long hair floating in the water, so if your hair is long, put it up and out of the way. Another is tattoos, which is unfortunate for anybody who has visible ones, but it’s better to know before you go than after you arrive.
