Gesture & etiquette
Point vaguely in the direction of the changing rooms/lockers.
Do not bring phones or cameras into the changing room or bathing area. Do not wear swimsuits or underwear in the bath (unless it's a specific mixed-gender outdoor onsen that requires it). Always wash thoroughly before entering the bath.
