Tipping is not required, and many ryokan staff will find the very idea of being offered money to do their job repugnant, so keep your yen in your pocket. Pretty much every guest room in a ryokan will have an area called a tokonoma in it.

Can you go to an onsen on your period?

If you’re taking a bath on your period, you might want to use a tampon. You may feel more relaxed in a tub of hot water, and some menstrual blood can leak out. If you’d like to take a bath on your period, wearing a fresh tampon can make you feel more secure.

Can you wear a towel in an onsen?

Many Japanese bring both a small towel and larger one. The smaller one can be used in the bathing area to tie back hair and give yourself a pat down so as to not soak the changing area, and the bigger one you use to give yourself a more thorough dry. Please be sure not to let the towel enter the onsen water!
