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.
