I believe that they were only associated with Onsen Towns on the coast which were often frequented by brawny and boisturous Russina sailors.
The problem started with these Russian Fisherman getting drunk on Vodka and Sake within the bath, and basiccaly getting out of control and making a nuisance of themselves.
I believe it started with one sign on one establishemnt, and then other's followed.
I do not think such a sign would be tolerated, and ideally would be frowned upon by locals in larger cities in Japan.
