How to take an onsen
  The procedure for having an onsen is as folllows:
  •
  
  Buy your ticket (often at a machine at the entrance)
  •
  
  Take
  off
  all
  your
  clothes
  in
  the
  change
  room
  and
  put 
  them in the basket provided. 
  •
  
  Towels
  can
  be
  rented
  but
  better
  to
  bring
  your
  own
  as 
  they
  can
  be
  expensive.
  A
  small
  towel
  can
  be
  handy
  to 
  cover those private bits and provide some modesty. 
  •
  
  Enter
  the
  main
  bath
  area
  -
  leave
  your
  big
  towel
  in
  the 
  change
  room.
  You
  can
  take
  the
  small
  towel
  but
  do
  not 
  let it get inside the bath tub. 
  •
  
  BEFORE
  you
  get
  in
  the
  bathtub
  clean
  yourself
  off
  and 
  then rinse off properly. 
  •
  
  You
  may
  now
  enter
  the
  bathtub
  which
  is
  used
  only
  for 
  soaking- not for cleaning. 
  •
  
  Soap
  and
  shampoo
  are
  provided
  free
  of
  charge. 
  Towels are usually extra to rent. 
  •
  
  When
  you
  have
  had
  enough
  you
  can
  use
  the
  small 
  towel
  to
  dry
  yourself
  off
  before
  entering
  the 
  changeroom.
