In Japan, the public bath built on the hostel street from Edo period. The pubic bath called “Sento”. We needed it for relaxation and communication apace at downtown in Showa period.
Almost cheaper apartment did not have private lavatory and bathroom in Showa period (20-30 years ago). That’s why people usage bigger public bath.
It was our nostalgic remember…
Recently, Japanese having very clean bathroom in their house. Only Yakuza and blue colors using that Sento. Sometimes you can see beautiful Japanese tattoo on their whole back at Sento if you lucky. When you should praise their tattoo if you find Yakuza. They will glad if you praise.
