[F] 22 – The time i went in a Mixed Gender Japanese Onsen (Hot Spring)

*Just a reminder, I respect their culture and them for not making it awkward, and I’m not blaming them or anything. I just felt like I wanted to tell this story that happened to me*

I’m 22 and I go to the gym a lot, do yoga and jogs almost every evening. Also, I kinda inherited my mom’s assets on my body. So I get people staring at me (mostly eyes were below my face level), even for other girls. So, being naked, I already expected some major stares. Back to my story, it was the beginning of last year, I went to Aomori.

I didn’t realize that onsens were public baths where you had to be completely NAKED. I just thought it was a ‘public bath’. So I brought a two piece in my suitcase and realized I had to go in naked. But oh well, everyone’s naked too. But like I said, I know how my body looks like and I’m getting all the stares even with clothes on. So knowing I’ll be naked this time, I kinda braced myself already before taking off everything and entering the place.
