Japanese style open-air bath opens in Hoa Binh
VOV.VN - The first Japanese style open-air bath (onsen) has opened at the Serena Resort Kim Boi in the province of Hoa Binh.

|
'Onsen' means 'hot spring' in Japanese but it generally refers to traditional public baths in Japan. |
 |
|
The onsen experience is important for many in Japan because of its health benefits such as helping to relax the muscles as well as alleviating problems like rheumatic, arthritic aches or even mental stress. |
 |
|
There are several rules of etiquette to remember when you go to onsen. |
 |
|
Use the correct change room. Female change rooms have red curtains and male change rooms have blue curtains. |
 |
|
Remove your clothes and put them in the baskets or lockers provided. The only thing you can bring with you into the onsen is a small wash cloth. |
 |
|
Remove your shoes. Wearing your shoes on tatami is one of the most embarrassing things that can happen. |
 |
|
Shower first. You must be clean before entering the onsen. Soap should never be allowed to pollute the onsen bath. |
 |
|
Put the towel on your head. Your wash cloth shouldn't enter the onsen water. |
 |
|
Japanese technology is used to treat the pool water. |
