1)
You’re going to get naked.
Completely. So the most essential item is a small towel to cover your privates.
Everything else is optional. Most sento don’t provide soap and shampoo
(although they sell them) so take these if you wish, along with a toothbrush
and so forth.
2)
Men and women bathe separately,
so look for the characters 男 for male and 女 for female to avoid embarrassment. Once through, you’ll find a
change room with lockers for your clothes and belongings. After undressing, all
you should be wearing is that small towel and a locker bracelet.
3)
You’ll find open shower
cubicles or basins lining the walls. Sit at a stool facing the wall and use the
small bucket provided to wash yourself with warm water (soap optional).
4)
Enter a bath naked, or use your
towel to tiptoe over if you are shy, but remember: the only thing that goes
into a bath is your nude clean body.
