We are contacting onsen now. What we confirmed with the onsen is marked differently from what their official sites state. These numbers are generated from the live data, not written by hand.
Wash before you get in
Rinse and wash yourself at the seated washing stations first. Everyone shares the water in the tub, and nobody washes in it.
Keep your towel out of the water
Rest the small towel on your head, or leave it at the edge of the bath.
