申し訳ございません、浴場内での染髪はご遠慮いただいております。
もうしわけございません、よくじょうないでのせんぱつはごえんりょいただいております。
We apologize, but we ask that you refrain from dyeing your hair inside the bathing area.
Gesture & etiquette
Slight bow, polite hand gesture indicating 'please tell me'.
Dyeing hair is generally prohibited in Japanese public baths (sento/onsen) to maintain water quality and prevent staining facilities. Do not attempt it.
