浴場に、自分のタオルを持ち込んでも大丈夫ですか？
よくじょうに、じぶんのタオルをもちこんでもだいじょうぶですか？
Is it okay to bring my own towel into the bathing area?

いいえ、お湯の中には入れられません。体を拭くために湯船の周りで使うのは問題ありません。
いいえ、おゆのなかにはいれられません。からだをふくためにゆぶねのまわりでつかうのはもんだいありません。
No, you cannot put it into the hot water. It's fine to use it around the bathtub to wipe your body.
Gesture & etiquette
Pointing at your own towel, then gesturing towards the bathing area.
Do not put towels into the bathwater. Use small towels for scrubbing and larger ones for drying after bathing.
