In contemporary Japanese society nudity occupies a similar position as in Western societies, that is to say, the naked human body is considered sexual with the often attendant emotions of embarrassment and shame.
Similar, but with some differences though. For instance there are absolutely no nudist or topless beaches in Japan, as are common in much of Europe and the U.S.A, and no form of “naturist” culture. On the other hand, nudity among same-sex groups as in public bathing and at onsens elicits less feelings of discomfort for the Japanese than for many Americans and British for example, and within the Japanese family nudity is far more commonplace.
However, pre-modern Japan was quite different with public nudity and semi-nudity being commonplace. In the towns and cities, laborers, rickshaw drivers, etc would wear only a loincloth during the warm weather, and women would often go bare-breasted.
The countryside was similar with both men and women working in the fields almost naked. The first Western visitors to Japan brought with them their Victorian morality and writers such as Isabella Bird were quick to comment upon the “lewdness” and “degraded morals” of the Japanese.
The male visitors seem to have been particularly incensed by mixed bathing, apparently requiring repeated visits in order to later recount their outrage. Bathing in Japan had always been a public, communal activity. A work penned in the seventh century, the Izumo Fudoki , makes it clear that nude bathing was the norm then and had been for at least one hundred years before then — and no doubt centuries before that too.
It was only the very rich who could afford their own private bathhouses, so in the towns most people visited the sento (‘coin bath’), and as well as sharing the tub with members of the other sex, neither was it unusual to walk to the sento naked.
In the countryside people would often use a neighbor’s bath, with the service rotating among neighboring farms. It seems however that there was at least some appreciation of the naked body as sexual as for some time previous to the Edo period bathing was not done naked, but wearing a yukatabira , the forerunner of today’s summer wear, the yukata , a garment now commonly worn after bathing.
While public nudity was the norm among the majority of Japanese, as one ascended the ranks of society, being ‘properly’ clothed increased in importance, and a samurai, for example, would never be seen naked in public.
In many ways sexuality was more closely associated with clothing than with bare skin. The Japanese very much appreciated the idea of tantalization and the appeal of imagination. In Edo period pornography, shunga , almost all portrayals of the sexual act involved clothed figures. It was the fine silks and sumptuous clothes of the geisha that made them the stuff of men’s dreams. Indeed, there was no history of the nude in Japanese “high” art until 1894 when Kuroda Seiki displayed in public a painted nude for the first time.
Attitudes began to change towards the end of the 19th century. The Japanese government needed to appear “civilized” to the Western powers so that the unequal treaties Japan was forced to sign could be repealed. Many new laws were passed to change how Japan appeared in the eyes of the West.
In 1872 a law was passed in Tokyo prohibiting public nudity, mixed bathing, and urinating in the street. Not only total nudity was banned, but naked thighs and upper torsos also resulted in fines. In 1876 more than 2,000 people were arrested for nudity offenses. (The latter part of this law, however, continues to be ignored to this day!)
Bath owners followed the letter of the new law, if not the spirit, by stringing a rope across the bath, thereby making separate spaces — however virtual — for men and for women.
In 1900 tougher laws were introduced requiring a solid barrier between the men’s and women’s sections of a bath.
Western style pornography and “girlie” photos now began to appear in Japan, along with a new type of social behavior: Peeping Toms. Once the naked body had been legislated against and thus ceased to be commonplace, it took on an erotic and mystified meaning.
Consequently, today no mixed-sex bathing areas remain in any sento in Japan. At onsens (vacation-style hot springs) however, the situation is a little different. The laws banning mixed sex bathing were never rigorously applied to them. The majority of the customers comprised elderly people who, rightly or wrongly, seem to have been considered beyond the pale when it came to issues of sexuality.
In the 1980s, Japan experienced an “Onsen Boom” with young people and families “rediscovering” the joys of hot spring bathing. With the infusion of youth into the waters, the vast majority of onsen provide separate areas for the sexes. Some, however, in the more rural areas remain mixed to this day.
Mayumi Yamazaki, a writer on hot springs, offers the following advice if you happen to find yourself in a mixed-sex onsen, “Don’t look at others when they get in and out, leave about a three-person-wide space between yourself and others in the tub, and try to engage (verbally!) with other bathers.
Some onsens have started to offer small, private rooms with tubs known as Family Rooms, and these can be rented for an extra fee on top of the regular onsen entrance fee. It is reported that some couples now use these private tubs as an alternative to love hotels .
Even if your hotel or apartment has a bath, a visit to the local sento is recommended, and not only as a way of observing a uniquely Japanese aspect of sanitary culture. Nakedness is the great leveller, and while some submit to it in silence, there are many fellow bathers who welcome it as an opportunity to build bridges that in clothed mode they might find difficult or daunting. Go there open-minded, naked, defenseless, and see what the communal bareness brings.

Bringing you yesterday's news from Japan and Asia, today.
Ever sunbathed topless? How about totally nude? Expedia conducted an opinion poll across 21 countries to gather information on people’s holiday habits, and managed to slip in some cheeky questions on how much clothing people were willing to do without at the beach.
A total of 8,301 people responded, with over 300 per country. The countries surveyed were the US, the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, India, Korea, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Holland, and New Zealand.
According to the results, Germans are the most likely to chill out at the beach in their birthday suit , with 17% indulging in a bit of nude sunbathing. Japan seems positively prudish at 5%, but they’re actually more likely to get their kit off than any of the other Asian countries surveyed. On the other hand, perhaps people from Asian countries are just more sensible; no clothes plus lots of sand usually equals a rather uncomfortable experience!
If it’s just going topless, then 40% of Danes enjoy having a bit of a breeze on their top half, while Malaysians like to keep their assets covered with a grand total of 0%.
However, when asked what they liked to spend their time doing when not at the beach, the most likely nation to choose “getting cosy with my significant other” was Malaysia, followed by Brazil, Holland, Korea, Mexico, and India. Japan came bottom ; if you’re thinking of whisking your Japanese lover away for a romantic beach getaway, it might not be quite the right location to put them in the mood!
Malaysia also scored highest for respondents who wanted to “get cosy with someone I met on holiday”. So Malaysians may not be comfortable with showing their skin in public, but it seems like they’re pretty forward in a one-on-one situation!
You might think splashing about in the sea is a standard beach activity, but only 45% of Japanese people surveyed said they enjoy “going in the sea” when at the beach, the lowest of all countries. Japan also comes bottom for other popular beach activities such as “going for a walk” and “people watching”!
So can anyone tell me what Japanese people actually do at the beach? Sleep?!

New Japanese Bath & Onsen Episode here:
Inside Tokyo's Bath Houses: Behind the Scenes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDo9I...
So, getting naked with a bunch of strangers isn't your thing, eh?
Maybe after watching this, it will be! Not only are Japanese baths and hot springs therapeutic, they're heavenly on the body and a part of Japan that shouldn't be missed.
I don't think I can ever go back to western bathing again! In this episode, John explores some of the reasons behind the concept of public bathing in Japan.
There are sento and onsen.
Sento are public baths that can be found in many neighborhoods.
Onsen are naturally occuring hot springs with geothermaically heated water full of minerals. It's also where you'll find some of Japan most traditional resorts.
Shyness and nudity:
Japanese are known for being shy, but at the bath, most are comfortable in their nudity. Why?
John asks a Japanese neighbor who is 94 years old. Mr. Seiichi has an answer to almost everything!
There's a phrase in Japanese that explains some of it:
Hadaka no tsukiai (裸の付き合い)
It basically means we're all the same when we're naked. It's a part of any open relationship with friends or in business, going to the bath is a place where you literally can't hide anything!
John starts this episode at a local sento in Tokyo's Edogawa ward.
It's called Take no Yu 竹の湯 and is located in Shinozaki 篠崎, 20 minutes from central Tokyo.
It's been operating since the 1950's but patrons have been decreasing annually since the 1990s because most younger people stay home and take a dip in their private baths. The culture is changing in Japan. Youth are just too busy to visit the sento and many old local sentos are going out of business because of it.
Tokyo is loaded with many fantastic and historical public baths! Definitely check one out when you visit. It's one place where you can experince all-out Japan!
We also take a trip to one of Japan's famous onsen resort towns, Minakami in neighboring Gunma prefecture.
Takaragawa Onsen 宝川温泉 is a foreign friendly place where you can soak in baths outside in the snow and get a very traditional meal.
Prices:
Sento Entry (Tokyo): 480 yen
Towel: 120 Yen (soap and shampoo sometimes provided for free)
Onsen Stay: Takaragawa Onsen (1 night / 2 meals): 14,800 yen / rates depend on time of year and room. Travel is separate.
