いいえ、お湯の中には入れないでください。頭に乗せるのは大丈夫です。
いいえ、おゆのなかにはいれないでください。あたまにのせるのはだいじょうぶです。
No, please do not put it in the hot water. It's fine to put it on your head.
Gesture & etiquette
Point to the small towel, then to the bath water, and make a questioning gesture.
Do not put the small towel (face towel) into the bath water. It's usually placed on your head or beside the bath.
