いいえ、湯船には入れないでください。頭に乗せるか、浴槽のフチに置いてください。
いいえ、ゆぶねにはいれないでください。あたまにのせるか、よくそうのふちにおいてください。
No, please don't put it in the bathtub. Please put it on your head or on the edge of the tub.
Gesture & etiquette
Point to the towel and then to the bath water with a questioning look.
Never put the small towel in the bath water. It's for modesty or wiping sweat outside the bath.
