Public bathhouse

This is a public bathhouse. There used to be a lot of public bathhouses in Japan, but now the number of bathhouses has decreased significantly, because most households have their own bathtubs. If you are interested in taking a public bath, I recommend that you go to hot springs. There are common manners between public bathes and hot springs.
Undress. Before you oak yourself in a bathtub, you need to wash yourself or shower. Do not use a towel in the tub. Do not swim in the tub. Unfortunately,if you have a tattoo,you won't be permitted to use those facilities because people consider you might be a gangster.
