Going to a hot spring or public bath? You’ll need to know the proper etiquette if you want to be comfortable and get the most of your time there. In this series we’ll walk you through step by step, so you can bathe like a pro and impress everyone with your knowledge of Japanese culture!
Our grammar point is how to use tame ni to express purpose in Japanese. Be sure to get the PDF, because we explain a couple of other uses of tame ni that you’ll need to know to master Japanese!

These days, when new PDFs first become available they are blank except for the 101 logo. I sure wish this problem could be fixed.
お願い！

My favorite onsen is in Daigo in Ibaraki. I went there with some friends a few years ago and had a great time there. I then went back about 18 months ago by myself and had a really relaxing time there. I am about to move up to Fukushima in the mountains - and there will be heaps of hot springs in that area!
But Peter, (and other people who might be a bit bashful), after going to a hot spring for the first time in Japan, you don’t need to worry about 生まれたままの姿 because everyone else is naked as well. I thoroughly recommend doing this if you are coming to Japan. If you can’t go to an onsen, then there are always sentos.

It’s never crowded and the price is reasonable.

You went to 大子温泉 near 袋田滝？(Fukuroda no taki) -one of the most famous waterfalls in Japan.

We wanted to go to Ebinokogen but the road was closed after a typhoon, so we stopped at Shiratori onsen, on the slopes of Kirishima volcano, a rotenburo looking down in the valley . Wonderful !

Yes that’s correct Naomi先生. I went there in Winter, because I wanted to see the waterfall when it was frozen - but it wasn’t at that tie. ahhhhh!

I like Tsukahara onsen in 別府. I love how at the station they pronounce the city.
