		<description>Yeah man, you have to get naked when you enter the onsen. I felt weird the first time I went, but you get used to it. Usually I am the only foreigner in there though. The older dudes always like chatting me up. In Dogo Onsen, this old guy was talking to me about the Japan-US alliance. He felt that America is too aggressive and that Japan will push back. I just listened to him talk. His dialect was difficult to understand, but I got the gist of it. I&#039;ve never been to any onsen up north. Looks like Kusatsu is next on the list!</description>

		<description>No Onsen trips for you when you come to Japan then! ..... You carry a small towel for modesty so it&#039;s not all that bad.</description>

		<description>Hot springs are a great way to unwind. As for nudity,  i probably would have been a bit shy at your age too Mike .... as i got a bit older and realised everyone has the same bits, just different sizes, i have no problem getting my kit off in front of others.</description>

		<description>oh wow! very interesting :D

I&#039;m still regretting not going into the hot springs area in one of my hotels when I was in Japan.  I guess I was way too shy because people have to walk around naked :(
