How are hot springs in Japan different?

Speaking of the country of hot springs, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely Japan, not only because there are so many hot springs, but also because the use of hot springs has also formed a unique hot spring culture earlier.

What is the difference in Japanese hot spring culture?

First of all, the Japanese do not wear a bathing suit in the hot springs, just like taking a bath. In addition, there are many types of hot springs in Japan. There are not only body baths, foot baths, hand baths, but also steam baths, sand baths, mud baths, etc. Some hot springs can still be consumed directly.

The order of entering the hot springs is also very particular: in general hot spring hotels rooms will be equipped with yukata, it is best to change into a convenient yukata first. In the changing room of the hot spring, put the yukata taken off in a basket, and wash your body with soap in the shower room; if the shower room is public, you should sit on a small chair and wash with a small basin to catch water, do not stand up. So as not to splash water on others. After washing the body, enter the hot spring barefoot.

Hot spring not only refers to high enough temperature, but also contains beneficial minerals. If it does not contain minerals, even if the temperature is high enough, it cannot be called hot spring.

The initial function of hot springs was to "cure diseases." According to records, many local farmers lived near the hot springs in the winter during the slack time, and then soaked for a month. Use the healing properties of hot springs to treat fatigue and illness caused by hard work. Nowadays, medicine is more and more developed, and the healing function of hot springs seems to be of little value.
