Summary of the Manner Guide for Keio Takaosan Onsen Gokurakuyu (by Copilot)

  1. Undressing: Undress in the changing room and bring a small towel into the bathing area. Underwear and swimwear are not worn in public baths in Japan.
  2. Pre-Bath Washing: Wash off before entering the bath. Use the showers or dip a bucket into the “Kakeyu” jar to rinse off.
  3. Bathing Etiquette:
    • Step quietly into the bath.
    • Wash your hair and body in the area equipped with showers and stools, not in the bath itself.
    • Sit quietly and enjoy a leisurely soak. Do not swim in the bath.
    • Be careful not to let your hair or towel fall into the water.
    • Dry off in the bathing area before returning to the changing room.
  4. Post-Bath: Rehydrate and relax in one of the available rest areas after dressing.
  5. General Rules:
    • Individuals with tattoos are not allowed.
    • Cameras and cellphones are not permitted in the bathing area.
    • Do not save seats in the shower area or sauna.
    • Do not add water to cool the bath.
    • Do not wash clothes in the bathing area.
    • Avoid bathing on an empty stomach or when feeling unwell.
    • Alcohol is not allowed in the bath.
    • Keep voices down and refrain from running in the bathing area.

These guidelines ensure a pleasant and respectful experience for all visitors
