Mobile Phones and Cameras are Not Allowed

To maintain a relaxing atmosphere and protect privacy, mobile phones and cameras are prohibited in the onsen bathing areas.

No Tattoos are Allowed, as a general rule

For cultural reasons, guests with tattoos are generally not allowed to use the public baths.

Wash Before Entering the Bath

Keeping the bath clean is very important. Wash your body and rinse well before entering the bath. Be careful not to splash hot water around you. This keeps the bathwater clean for all guests.

Do not brush your teeth inside the bathroom

Please use the sink in the changing room to brush your teeth. This is important for keeping the bath area clean and being considerate of others.

Bathing Naked — No Swimsuits Allowed

Please remove all clothing in the changing room. It is common to be naked when entering an onsen. This is an essential part of Japanese onsen culture.

Tie Up Long Hair

If you have long hair, tie it up to keep it out of the water. This is important for keeping the bathwater clean.

Avoid bathing right after drinking alcohol.

The combination of alcohol and hot water is dangerous. It can cause falls and dehydration.

Keep Your Towel Out of the Water

A hand towel is used for washing your body and for covering your private parts when moving from the dressing room to the bath and back again. But don’t let it touch the bath water. Instead, place it on the edge of the bath or fold it on your head, as is customary.

Return any items to their original place

Please clean the bathing stool and bucket after use, and return them to their original place. This is to ensure that everyone who visits the onsen can enjoy their time there.

Dry your body Before Returning to the Changing Room

Please use your towel to dry yourself before returning to the changing room. This keeps the changing room floors clean and prevents slipping hazards.

Towels, Bath amenities are Provided in the Public Bath

At Sekiyo, hand towels, bath towels, bath amenities, and hairdryers are provided in the public baths.
