すみません、このタオルは湯船に浸けても大丈夫ですか?

すみません、このタオルはゆぶねにつけてもだいじょうぶですか?

Excuse me, is it alright if I dip this towel in the bathtub?

はい、肩に乗せるか頭に置く程度でしたら問題ありません。湯船には入れないでくださいね。

はい、かたにのせるかあたまにおくていどでしたらもんだいありません。ゆぶねにはいれないでくださいね。

Yes, it's fine if you place it on your shoulder or head. Please do not put it in the bath water itself.

Gesture & etiquette

Hold up the small towel (tenugui) while asking.

Do not wring out or wash the towel in the main bath water. It's common to keep a small towel for scrubbing or covering, but it should not enter the bath water directly for hygiene reasons.
