???the Japanese-style bathing etiquette.???
If it is your first time in a Japanese onsen (spa) or sento, be sure not to forget the Japanese-style bathing etiquette and please remember the following points before and during bathing;
1)You will be bathing with other people (men and women are separated.)
2)Wash yourself well with soap at the knee-high showers before you go into the bath.
3)In the hot tubs, no soap or bathing suits.
???One more lesson.???
The following differences exist between onsen and sento.
1)Onsen contain mineral components while sento don’t.
2)Sento are located in residential areas because they are public baths while onsen are often found in volcanic areas.
3)Sento are considered as a part of daily life while onsen are resorts where people travel to for vacation or therapeutic purpose.
