● Accommodation --- In Japanese style hotels, it is not rude to walk along hallways, to go to the bath or to have dinner wearing just your yukata and/or zori slippers. In Western style hotels, do not walk around outside your room wearing a yukata and zori, but in hotels with hot spring facilities, it is OK. Please ask the staff at your hotel if you are unsure. ● When taking a bath --- One person should use only one basket or one locker in the locker room. In a big common tub, tie up your hair if it is long (e.g. with a rubber band), so that your hair does not go into the water. Before entering the bathtub, be sure to clean yourself with warm water. Do not go into the bathtub wearing your bath towel or swimming suit. Do not dip your towel into the bathtub, as it is unhygienic. Before you return to the locker room, be sure to dry yourself properly. ● Tipping --- In Japan, you pay tips in the form of service charge, which is included in your hotel bill. It is not necessary to give a tip to a room maid or a waiter.
