Visiting a Japanese public bath (onsen) is an ancient tradition that provides a relaxing and calming atmosphere. Before entering, there are preparations to make such as having items like towels and soap, covering up tattoos and wearing the designated bathing attire. Inside, it is important to follow the rules and etiquette such as no talking or splashing around in the tubs/pools. There are also tips for enjoying your visit such as taking your time when entering/exiting tubs/pools, trying out different temperatures and bringing bottled water after leaving premises. Visiting an onsen can provide numerous benefits including improved circulation, skin health, muscle tension relief and improved mental health.
