I tried the Japanese Onsen public bath in the inn. I went at 7am which was great timing because it meant the bath was recently cleaned. And everyone was busy eating breakfast so I had the bath to myself. I ain't wanna see no wenis.
It's very beautiful (the interior design and the traditions) and very clean, but I didn't find it very relaxing because there's like 16 steps you have to follow. It's a bit like an OCD esque homestay with a bunch of passive aggressive signs everywhere. Also I don't find being naked in public very relaxing.
There's a shower step before the bath step, so I did that. But when I got to the bath, since my body is sensitive I found the bath to be way too hot for me to even put my foot in. So at the most I ended up taking a "public shower" in the public bathhouse.
All-in-all an interesting experience!
