What I learned from these interviews is that there are people who don’t know public baths even exist. Men seem that they would enjoy the bath by themselves, but not with other naked people around. Most women said that they had gotten used to it after trying. I've been to hot springs, but not to a public bath, so I want to try it.” (America/woman)Įspecially men didn’t like being naked among other men. “At first I was reluctant, but once you get used to it, it’s ok, I’m not embarrassed anymore. I don’t want to get naked in front of friends.” (USA/man) “I would like it if I were alone, but not with friends. I do use hot springs in Taiwan, but I wear a swimsuit.” (Taiwan/man) I don’t want to be in the same bath with other people naked. Most people were embarrassed and did not want to enter the hot springs. However, foreigners often can’t get used to getting naked in front of strangers. It’s common and the normal way to enjoy them is to get naked and soak in hot water. Hot springs and public baths are places that Japanese can’t do without.
