Bathing Dirty Is Wrong

While taking a relaxing bath after a long day’s work is a common practice in many cultures, Japan has a unique approach to bathing that might be unfamiliar to foreigners. In Japan, it is customary to shower and thoroughly cleanse your body before entering the bathtub.

This means that when you immerse yourself in the bath, your body should be entirely clean, without even soap residue. Bathing in Japan is more about enjoying the soothing properties of the water and relaxation.
