浴室には持ち込めません。湯船のそばに置ける棚がありますので、そちらへどうぞ。
よくしつにはもちこめません。ゆぶねのそばにおけるたながありますので、そちらへどうぞ。
You cannot bring them into the bathing area. There are shelves near the bath, please use those.
Gesture & etiquette
Point vaguely towards the bathing area or changing room area to clarify the question.
Do not bring large towels into the bathing area; usually only small modesty towels (kake-yu towel) are allowed, or the main towel is left in the changing room. Do not disturb other bathers.
