===Etiquette=== The customs and practices observed differ depending on the hot spring. It is common practice that bathers should wash before entering the water so as not to contaminate the water (with/without soap).<ref>{{Cite book |title=Ryokan |first=Gabriele |last=Fahr-Becker |year=2001 |isbn=978-3-8290-4829-3 |page=24 |publisher=Könemann }}</ref> In many countries, like Japan, it is required to enter the hot spring with no clothes on, including swimwear. Often there are different facilities or times for men and women, but mixed ''onsen'' do exist.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Cheung |first1=Jeanne |title=A Guide to Japan's Onsen Etiquette for First Timers (Hint: You're Gonna be in the Buff) |url=https://traveler.marriott.com/culture-and-style/onsen-japan-etiquette-for-first-timers/ |website=Marriot Bonvoy Traveler |date=16 February 2018 |publisher=Marriot Internal Inc. |access-date=2 July 2021}}</ref> In some countries, if it is a public hot spring, swimwear is required.<ref>{{cite web |title=Spa Etiquette & Information |url=https://www.onespa.com/spa-information/ |website=One Spa |access-date=2 July 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Nudity Spa Guide |url=https://www.spafinder.com/nudity-spa-guide/ |website=Spa Finder |date=19 July 2016 |publisher=Blackhawk Network, Inc. |access-date=2 July 2021}}</ref>
