@japan.onsens: One of the few mixed baths remaining in Japan - Kawanaka Onsen, Kadahan Inn #japantrip #japan #onsen #ryokan *this bath is only available for those staying at the hotel
Based off of what I know about Japan, mixed baths are best left in the past. 😅

People freaked out by the concept of mixed bath, but for couples that feel safer in the same bath should have that option.

I grew up with a family that was totally chill with nudity (skinny dipping, sleeping naked, etc) so I really don't get what folks are freaking out about 😅 have we really become so prudish?

I saw a manga where the couple was both trans and of the opposite sex. So they went into a mixed bath to prevent mayhem. I thought it was brilliant 😭 (Wife was MTF husband was FTM).

this seems ideal to allow trans people to use them

Traditional onsens are a dying breed because of the strict rules such as required nudity or no tattoos allowed. This immediate deters a huge amount of tourists. If the locals alone can’t support and keep business booming, then they close. “Tourist” onsens that allow bathing suits and tattoos do far better as a majority of travelers naturally feel more comfortable.

mixed saunas and spas are very normal in germany, it’s not weird and people tend to be very respectful

I want someone to explain a legitimate good reason as to why mixed baths should stay open? Outside of couples or for families (of which private onsens already exist) it just seems like most people are masking culture for being voyeuristic perverts. There’s no real reason as to why they need to exist.
