Traditionally these bath houses have been quite utilitarian.

Sentō is a type of Japanese communal bath house where customers pay for entrance.
A single large bath for the already washed bathers to sit in among others.
You’ll be naked . Swimsuits are prohibited in baths.

Most people will either wear the towel on their head or place it on the edge of the bath.
You can partially cover yourself with a small towel while walking around the baths.
The culture dictates that this towel should never touch the water.

They may not let you in with tattoos.This is because tattoos in Japan are associated with organized crime. Some baths don’t allow bathers with tattoos.

You’re expected to wash your entire body well before getting into the baths.
You shouldn’t enter the bathing pools before thoroughly washing yourself.
If you have long hair, tie your hair up, do not let your hair to touch the bathwater.

Showers are usually all located in an open room.Washing while standing is considered rude, so sit on the provided stool while you shower. Avoid spraying water on others.
