Staying at a Traditional Japanese Inn | Ryokan & Onsen Etiquette

What this video shows

From the guide “Japan Onsen Etiquette: 13 Steps for First-Timers”: Japan onsen etiquette is easier to remember than it may seem: wash before entering the bath, keep your towel and hair out of the water, and bathe quietly. At most onsen, you bathe nude rather than wearing a swimsuit.

From the guide “Japan Queue Etiquette: Where to Stand and When to Ask”: Japan’s queueing customs are easiest to follow when you treat signs, floor markings and staff instructions at the place you are visiting as the authority.
