Radioactive spring

The water here

Radioactive spring 放射能泉

Contains trace radon that leaves the water quickly. Also called radium or radon springs.

With tattoos

Many public baths still turn away visible tattoos, and the rule is set by each bath, not by the town. The reliable way round it is to bathe privately: a room with its own open-air bath, or an inn with a private bath you can book for yourselves.
