いいえ、タオルは湯船に入れないでください。頭に乗せるか、体を洗う時に使ってください。
いいえ、たおるはゆぶねにいれないでください。あたまにのせるか、からだをあらうときにつかってください。
No, please don't put the towel in the bathwater. Please put it on your head or use it when washing your body.
Gesture & etiquette
Point at the towel and then towards the bathwater with a questioning look.
Do not put your towel in the communal bathwater. Do not wash your body directly in the bath. Wash thoroughly before entering.
