The mixed KONYAKU onsens are a deeply guarded Japanese secret. Foreigners are not aloud to partake in these full nudity male and female onsens.

Needless to say I have been invited to them by my Japanese friends and enjoyed it, but only because they do not view me as a foreigner, I have completely integrated into their culture and it takes many years to get to this level with them.

Umm that is not 100% true, I have been to a Konyaku and I only been there for 5 months or so ^_^ I dont know if maybe you are older (dont know your age) than me but I enjoyed a good cultural experience, maybe that or I’m a really strange Gaijin ^_^ (most of my friends dont see me as a gaijin either)

I have been to the mixed konnyaku onsens and rotemburo many times. They were full of old people.Probably you cannot meet a nubile Japanese lady at such places. I am not old. In the onsen many old men laughed and pulled strange faces at me, while the old women called out to the men and tried to encourage them to come and talk to me. Old people should be more modest I think. Maybe if I had worn the ceremonial octopus it would not have happened.
Also, the 'eau de rotten eggs' is not conducive to a romantic atmosphere. My own boyfriend will not let me in his car for several days after visiting an onsen, because he says I stink. You would be better off going to the beach. The women there wear some clothes it is true, but sometimes that can be more sexy than total nakedness I've heard.

Tell me more about this "cultural experience" because I am 100% sure that you are lying.

BLo may be telling the truth, since they are not afraid of foreign women entering the special mixed bathing.

And by the way, Kuroneko, I was just testing you. It's Konyoku 混浴, not Konyaku. That also proves you don't know what you're talking about AT ALL.

Finally, my girlfriend took a picture inside a waterfall-type of onsen near Niigata prefecture set deep in the Japanese Arupusu:



Nakedness is very common in Japan and people don't associate sex with nakedness as they do in the west. People are not ashamed of their bodies as they are in Western countries and this is part of the beauty of Japan.

Please notice that the woman with small breasts in the picture is wearing a ceremonial octopus on her head for bathing.
Can you prove that is a photo of yourself by telling us what is in that bucket?

and this is why I love Japan, a lot of westerners (I.e my American Friends) are kind of immature/ignorant when it comes to nudity. When I told my friends that men bath together in an onsen. They where like "Why would you do that?" and Jokingly "Are you gay?" I of course didn't really see any thing wrong with it. its the most natural thing thing you can experience.

They also asked me about mix bathing. and i reluctantly said "Yes, even today that is still there." and they responded with "Soo was it like a big ****" I care not to go in to detail but I was a little insulted. To this day I only have one friend that has the same view on this issue as me.

So I to completely understand this beauty you speak of.
