I am not sure if the flair wrong but I couldn’t find anything apt for the question.
I wanted ask non Japanese people about their experience going to a public onsen, especially with the rule of full nudity in place.
As non Japanese, I am sure most people aren’t used to being nude while bathing with others or even bathing with others. So for people who went to a public onsen, how did you overcome that? Especially for women, was it awkward? Embarrassing? Were you shy? (I am a woman.)
I want to go to onsen but I am not sure if I would able to overcome that. I know that private onsens are also a popular option and it’s probably what I would be looking into anyways. But wanted to know about the public onsen experience as well.
Apology in advance if it’s inappropriate to ask.
