Tips for Muslim visitors
- Men and women bathe separately: the men's bath is Ichi no Yu and the women's bath is Ni no Yu.
- Kin no Yu is a tattoo-friendly facility. There is also a footbath beside the building, where you can try the hot spring water without undressing.
- You need a towel for bathing; towels can be bought at the facility.
- At most public hot springs in Japan people bathe naked, in baths separated by gender, and swimwear is usually not allowed. If you prefer privacy, look for a private bath (kashikiri-buro), an in-room bath or a foot bath.
- Wash your body at the shower area before entering the bath. Many visitors who want to stay covered choose a foot bath instead.
