Japan is one of the countries with the largest number of active volcanoes in the world.

日本是世界上活火山數量最多的國家之一。

A positive aspect of this is the presence of natural hot springs, or onsen, of which there are many.

一個積極的方面是，這裡有許多天然溫泉。

Hot spring bathing culture in Japan started as a means of gaining health benefits.

日本的溫泉入浴文化最初是為了保健。

But these days, it is commonly associated as a relaxing holiday where one can go sightseeing in the hot spring areas, enjoy the local cuisine, and soak in the baths.

但如今，人們通常將其視為一個放鬆身心的假期，可以到溫泉區觀光，品嚐當地美食，還可以泡溫泉。

Every region of the country has its share of hot springs and resort towns.

該國每個地區都有自己的溫泉和度假小鎮。

And baths come in a wide variety of styles, shapes, and sizes.

浴缸的款式、形狀和尺寸多種多樣。

The most common hot spring baths are indoor baths, or uchiburo, and outdoor baths, called rotenburo.

最常見的溫泉浴池有室內浴池（uchiburo）和露天浴池（rottenburo）。

But you can also find foot baths, waterfall or beating baths, sand baths, steam baths, and mud baths.

此外，您還可以找到足浴、瀑布浴或跳動浴、沙浴、蒸汽浴和泥浴。

Some types of onsen water also have health benefits when drunk, while in some areas, the naturally hot water and steam are used for cooking.

某些類型的溫泉水飲用後還具有保健作用，而在某些地區，天然熱水和蒸汽還可用於烹飪。

In order to help you get the most of your onsen experience during your trip to Japan, here is our guide on how to onsen.

為了幫助您在日本之旅中充分體驗溫泉，以下是我們的溫泉指南。

The hot spring law defines an onsen to be water, water vapour are the gases that emerge out of the earth at at least 25 degrees Celsius, or contain a certain amount of natural minerals.

溫泉法將溫泉定義為水，水蒸氣是指從地底冒出的溫度至少為 25 攝氏度的氣體，或含有一定量的天然礦物質。

Hot springs were traditionally discovered where water naturally emerged from the ground.

傳統上，溫泉是在地下自然冒水的地方被發現的。

However, with modern technology, it is now possible to bore wells several kilometres underground and pump out naturally hot water pretty much everywhere.

不過，隨著現代技術的發展，現在可以在地下幾公里處打井，並在幾乎所有地方抽出天然熱水。

Hot spring sources can be classified into three categories.

Natural springs that produce water spontaneously from the ground with no boring or pumping required.

無需鑽探或抽水即可從地下自發產水的天然泉水。

Dug or bored wells that produce hot spring water without the need of pumping.

無需抽水即可產生溫泉水的挖井或鑽井。

Bored wells that use pumps to bring water to the surface.

利用水泵將水引入地表的鑽井。

Needless to say, historical baths in long-established onsen resorts will provide you with a more authentic onsen experience than a modern bath in the middle of a metropolis.

毋庸置疑，與大都市中的現代浴場相比，歷史悠久的溫泉勝地中的歷史浴場會給您帶來更真實的溫泉體驗。

A wide variety of hot spring waters can be enjoyed in Japan, differing in the minerals contained.

日本的溫泉種類繁多，所含礦物質也各不相同。

Some are strongly acidic or alkaline, milky or colourful, and fragrant while others look, smell and feel like regular water.

有些是強酸性或強鹼性的，呈乳白色或彩色，有香味，而有些看起來、聞起來和感覺上都與普通的水無異。

Many are rich in minerals, including elements such as sulphur, iron or radium, while others contain little or no minerals.

其中許多富含礦物質，包括硫、鐵或鐳等元素，而另一些則幾乎不含礦物質。

And some are drinkable, while others must not be drunk.

Some onsen waters also come with various health benefits, such as helping with fatigue and help with skin and joint issues.

有些溫泉水還具有各種保健功效，例如有助於消除疲勞、治療皮膚和關節問題。

The best onsen baths are those fed directly by a constant flow of water from the source without any treatment.

最好的溫泉浴池是那些不經任何處理，直接從源頭源源不斷地取水的浴池。

They're known as gensen kakenagashi and are common in historical hot spring resorts gifted with an abundant flow of high-quality waters.

它們被稱為 "源泉"（gensen kakenagashi），常見於擁有豐富優質水流的歷史悠久的溫泉勝地。

However, the water in many other baths across Japan is treated before it reaches the bathers for various reasons.

不過，出於各種原因，日本許多其他浴場的水在到達浴客之前都經過了處理。

These treatments include heating the water because it is not warm enough, adding or recirculating water because there is not enough of it, and adding chlorine to the water, which often means the flow of fresh water is in abundance and which leaves a rather undesirable chemical smell in the water.

這些處理方法包括加熱水，因為水溫不夠；加水或再循環水，因為水量不足；在水中加氯，這往往意味著淡水的流量很大，而且會在水中留下相當不好的化學氣味。

There are thousands of hot springs across Japan, but they're particularly numerous in the more volcanic areas of the Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu and Kyushu regions.

日本全國有數以千計的溫泉，尤其是在北海道、東北、關東、中部和九州等火山較多的地區。

Some are found in nature with no facilities around them at all, often requiring some hiking to access them.

有的地方位於大自然中，周圍根本沒有任何設施，通常需要徒步才能到達。

But the typical tourists will encounter hot spring baths at a public bath or an accommodation, such as a ryokan.

不過，一般遊客會在公共浴場或旅館等住宿場所泡溫泉。

How to bathe The first step before enjoying a soak in a hot spring bath is finding the changing areas.

如何入浴 泡溫泉的第一步是找到更衣區。

Most onsen baths these days, with some rare exceptions, are gender segregated.

如今，除了極少數例外情況，大多數溫泉浴場都是男女分開的。

Changing rooms can usually be recognised relatively easily from the curtains that hang outside their doors.

從更衣室門外懸掛的窗簾上，通常可以比較容易地辨認出更衣室。

Blue curtains are often used for the men's bath and red for the women's bath.

男浴池通常使用藍色窗簾，女浴池則使用紅色窗簾。

But be careful as it sometimes might not be the case.

但要小心，因為有時情況可能並非如此。

In addition, kanji characters specifying the gender for each changing room are often present nearby.

此外，每個更衣室附近還經常出現註明性別的漢字。

Inside the changing room, you'll find shelves, baskets and or lockers where you can store your clothes and belongings before entering the baths.

在更衣室內，您可以找到置物架、籃子或儲物櫃，在進入浴池之前，您可以在這裡存放衣物和物品。

You can also sometimes find sinks and amenities, such as hairdryers and various skincare products.

有時還能看到水槽和設施，如吹風機和各種護膚品。

Understandably, some might feel a little uncomfortable about bathing naked with strangers, but note that most quickly get over it after their first experience.

可以理解的是，有些人可能會對與陌生人裸浴感到有點不自在，但請注意，大多數人在第一次經歷後很快就會釋然。

If nudity is really an issue, consider using private baths which are available at some establishments and will allow you to experience the water in privacy, although sometimes with a less attractive setting than the larger public baths.

如果裸體確實是個問題，可以考慮使用私人浴場，有些浴場提供私人浴場，可以讓您在私密的環境中體驗水的樂趣，儘管有時環境不如大型公共浴場吸引人。

Note that tattoos are prohibited at many hot spring baths due to their association with organised crime, although the number of tattoo-friendly baths has been increasing.

需要注意的是，由於紋身與有組織犯罪有關，是以許多溫泉浴場都禁止紋身，不過適合紋身的浴場數量在不斷增加。

To avoid an unpleasant surprise in being refused entry to a hot spring bath, we recommend doing a little bit of research on listings of tattoo-friendly bath houses on the internet.

為了避免在泡溫泉時被拒之門外，我們建議您先在網上搜索一下適合紋身者的浴場。

It can also be acceptable to cover up smaller tattoos with tape, and private baths could be another option to consider.

用膠帶遮蓋較小的紋身也是可以接受的，私人浴室也是可以考慮的另一種選擇。

Now that you're ready to soak in the water, let's get on to how to take a bath.

既然你已經準備好泡在水裡了，那我們就來看看如何洗澡吧。

Two types of towels are popularly used at Japanese baths, a small one and a large one.

日本浴場常用的毛巾有兩種，一種是小毛巾，另一種是大毛巾。

Take the small towel with you, since it is meant to be used for washing and enhancing your privacy, and leave the large towel in the changing room.

小毛巾隨身攜帶，因為它是用來洗臉和保護隱私的，大毛巾留在更衣室。

You will use it later to thoroughly dry your body after bathing.

沐浴後，您可以用它徹底擦乾身體。

Before entering the bath, thoroughly rinse your body with water from a trough, tap, or the bath itself using a ladle or bowl, or take a shower.

入浴前，用水槽、水龍頭或浴缸裡的水，用勺子或碗徹底沖洗身體，或者淋浴。

While it is important to properly rinse your body before entering the bath, it should not be forgotten that the main purpose of bathing in a hot spring is to dirty your body with the same minerals provided by Mother Nature, rather than cleaning yourself.

入浴前適當沖洗身體固然重要，但不應忘記，泡溫泉的主要目的是用大自然提供的相同礦物質弄髒身體，而不是清潔自己。

You won't find taps and showers at older baths, and in natural settings, the use of soap and shampoo may even be prohibited.

古老的浴場沒有水龍頭和淋浴，在自然環境中，甚至可能禁止使用肥皂和洗髮水。

However, at most onsen baths these days, you'll find showers for people to clean themselves, and soap and shampoo are often provided.

不過，現在大多數溫泉浴場都有淋浴供人們清洗，通常還提供肥皂和洗髮水。

Make sure to rinse yourself well afterwards so that no soap gets into the bath water.

之後一定要衝洗乾淨，以免肥皂進入洗澡水中。

Be careful though, the water can be very hot, between 40 and 44 degrees Celsius.

不過要小心，水溫可能會很高，在 40 至 44 攝氏度之間。

If it feels too hot though, try to enter very slowly and move as little as possible, but don't overdo it.

如果感覺太熱，可以慢慢進入，儘量少動，但也不要過度。

Take breaks to cool and try out different baths if available.

如果有條件的話，可以休息一下，涼快涼快，試試不同的浴缸。

Keep your small towel out of the water by placing it either at the side of the bath or on top of your head.

將小毛巾放在浴缸邊上或頭頂上，使其遠離水面。

And although some people do it, avoid sitting with your behind on the edge of the bath as others will rest their heads there.

雖然有些人會這樣做，但還是要避免坐在浴缸邊緣，因為其他人會把頭靠在那裡。

Also, be considerate of other bathers by not talking too loudly, and do not swim or submerge your head.

此外，請注意不要大聲說話，也不要游泳或將頭浸入水中，這樣會影響其他浴客。

Those with long hair should tie it up before soaking in the bath.

長頭髮的人應該在泡澡前把頭髮紮起來。

Many baths come with slippery floors, while some hot spring waters are cloudy or non-transparent, making underwater steps difficult to spot.

許多浴池的地面溼滑，有些溫泉水混濁或不透明，很難發現水下的臺階。

Make sure to enter the tubs slowly and move around the baths carefully to avoid slip and fall injuries.

確保緩慢進入浴缸，並小心地在浴缸周圍走動，以免滑倒受傷。

Finally, when you're done bathing, it is recommended not to rinse your body with tap water in order for the hot spring water's minerals to work their magic on your body, unless you have sensitive skin or visit a bath with dubious hygiene standards.

最後，泡完溫泉後，建議不要用自來水沖洗身體，以便讓溫泉水中的礦物質對身體產生神奇的作用，除非您的皮膚比較敏感，或者去的是衛生標準不達標的浴場。

As mentioned earlier, use your small towel to pat yourself dry before stepping back into the changing room where you can use your large towel to dry yourself completely.

如前所述，先用小毛巾把自己拍幹，然後再回到更衣室，用大毛巾把自己完全擦乾。

Now, don't let all these rules scare you.

Just remember to rinse your body before soaking, keep your small towel out of the water, and most of all, enjoy your onsen experience.

只需記住，泡溫泉前要衝洗身體，小毛巾不要放在水裡，最重要的是享受溫泉體驗。
