How to do Japanese Onsen or Sento (public bath)

There are 3 things many Americans find VERY intimidating about the Japanese sento (public bath) or onsen (hot spring bath)

1. Being naked in front of family, friends, and strangers.
2. Bath water is way too hot.
3. Dont know the procedure (i hope my little tour / tutorial helps a little there).

But I’ll tell you, all of these can be overcome with the right mind set, and practice. The first time is the hardest 😂

If traveling to Japan, book at least 1 night at a hotel or Ryokan with an onsen or sento, some even have a private one you can reserve. It’s such a great experience and for big families, it’s a quick way to get everyone clean without having to take turns in the shower 😅

Would you try it???
If you have done it, what did you think???
