Onsen (Hot Spring)

Drawers off, strictly no knicks allowed. Sluice the plastic stool, sit, then have a good ol’ scrub. No soap permitted in the baths, so rinse well. Jump into communal hot bath, almost expire, then stagger out for a massage. Note: many onsens refuse entry if you have tattoos, but you can get around this by covering up offending spots with tape.
