You can find them all over Japan, and they are super popular among the locals as a great way to relax.

你在日本各地都可以找到它們，而泡溫泉是當地人之間最受歡迎的絕佳放鬆方式。

There is a special etiquette that you need to keep, and not following the rules is heavily frowned upon.

泡溫泉有需要遵循的特殊禮儀，不遵守規則會大大地引起反感。

So, here is our guide on how to properly take an onsen.

那麼，以下是我們提供的正確泡溫泉指引。

Step 1: Grab a small towel and get naked.

第一步：拿一條小毛巾然後脫光光。

Yep, that's right, no speedos allowed.

對，沒錯，連泳褲都不能穿。

Don't even try it; it's totally not done.

你也不用嘗試，完全沒有人這麼做。

Also, if you have any large tattoos, you're out of luck.

此外，如果你有大範圍刺青，你也無緣泡溫泉了。

They're banned in most onsen.

它們在多數溫泉是被禁止的。

Step 2: Wash yourself.

第二步：洗淨身體。

Have a seat, grab some soap, and properly wash yourself from top to toe.

拿張椅子、拿點肥皂，然後好好地從頭到腳把自己洗乾淨。

This is to keep the water of the onsen clean.

這個目的是讓溫泉水保持乾淨。

Never wash in the onsen itself and don't wash while standing up.

絕對不要在溫泉水裡面洗澡，洗滌時也不要站起來。

Nobody wants to see that.

那種景象沒人想要看。

Step 3: Use the small towel to cover yourself as you walk around and make your way into the bath.

第三步：走動時用小毛巾遮住重要部位，然後前往池子。

Step 4: Once you're in the bath, put your towel on the side, or even better, on your head.

第四步：一但進入了溫泉，可以把毛巾放在一邊，可以放在頭頂上更好。

Make sure your towel never touches the bath water.

確保你的毛巾絕對不會碰到溫泉水。

And finally, enjoy the soak.

最後，享受泡澡的過程。

Let the healing waters of the onsen enrich your body while you enjoy your surroundings.

在你享受周圍景緻時，讓溫泉具有療效的水滋潤你的身體。

The onsen is a place to relax and reflect.

溫泉是放鬆與反思的好地方。
