Don't do this in Japan ~2~ hot spring


I give you advice in case you travel in Japan.
Mostly, Japanese people do not say directly about what they think in mind.
In our culture, Japanese avoid saying what they think in mind.
So, you must be hard to know what Japanese people really intend.

  In Japan, there is a hotspring the monkey like to get in. Here is called
''JIGOKUDANI YAEN-KOEN''. A lot of turist from abroad visit at this hot spring.

  You may get in the hot spring, when you come to Japan.
What I want to write on this topic in this time is ''wash your body before you get
in the hot spring.''
  Basically, Japanese people keep everything clean.
Usually, there is some small buckets around the hot spring. Those stuff are for
washing your body.

  I hear there are some hot springs where they don't allow foreigners to use
the hot spring. The reason is the other Japanese usuers complain about foreign people.

  In Japan, there was a news. a foreign people sued the hot spring owner for
the discrimination.(The the plaintiff lost the case.)

But I think there are not many hot springs which do not allow foreigners to use.
As long as you keep the Japanese rule, you don't have to worry about it.
