What is Ogoto Onsen? A Hot Spring with Two Faces
Ogoto Onsen, located in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture, has a history of 1,200 years and is renowned for its highly alkaline hot springs, which are said to leave the skin feeling smooth. It is the largest hot spring town in Shiga Prefecture.
On one hand, it’s a scenic resort area with beautiful views. On the other hand, it hosts one of the most prominent “Soapland” districts in western Japan, concentrated along the lakeside. This unique duality is what defines Ogoto Onsen.
Can Foreigners Use Soapland in Ogoto Onsen?
This is the most crucial question for many international visitors. The answer is: “Yes, there are several establishments that accept foreign customers.”
Historically, many such places in Japan had a “Japanese Only” policy due to language barriers and cultural differences. However, in Ogoto Onsen, you will find signs that explicitly say “Foreigners Welcome” or display flags of various countries. This makes it one of the more accessible districts for non-Japanese visitors in the Kansai region.
- Look for signs in English, Chinese, or Korean.
- Check for multiple national flags displayed at the entrance.
- Some shops have websites with information for foreign customers.
What Exactly is “Soapland”?
For those unfamiliar, Soapland is a type of adult bathhouse unique to Japan. The primary service involves a female staff member, often called a “companion,” washing the customer’s body with a large amount of soap foam on a waterproof mattress in a private room. It is a one-on-one service. While the theme is bathing, it is a form of adult entertainment.
General Price Range
“How much does it cost?” is another critical piece of information. While prices vary by establishment, course length, and time of day, you can generally expect to pay between 20,000 yen to 40,000 yen for a standard course, which typically lasts from 60 to 90 minutes. It’s always best to confirm the exact price at the specific venue before entering.
Basic Rules and Etiquette
To avoid any trouble and ensure a smooth experience, it’s important to understand some basic rules and etiquette.
- Photography and video recording are strictly prohibited inside the establishment.
- Always treat the staff with respect. Do not force them to do anything they are unwilling to do.
- Follow the instructions provided by the establishment regarding bathing and use of the facilities.
- Payments are typically made in cash upfront.
