Nowadays, in Korea, just like in Japan, it is called sesin massage.
While a man takes a mixed bath
A female gentleman comes in and pushes the dirt.
That kind of business is thriving.
I heard the price is a bit high~~
I think this came from Japan
Koreans are surprised when they go to a Japanese bathhouse, right? .
why ?
This is because the culture of men and women bathing in the same space remains.
A completely mixed bathhouse like the past
Although it disappeared a lot between 1955 and 1960,
A public bathhouse in the countryside an hour away from Tokyo
Go to hot springs at local tourist attractions
Scenes like the one below are still part of everyday life.
Japan has a larger territory than us and exchange of goods is active.
There were many merchants and travelers traveling around the country.
We started building a bathhouse at the inn for them.
If you make two soups, one for men and one for women,
It costs a lot of money and is difficult to manage.
It is said that one bath was made and men and women used it alternately.
Then gradually
Longer towels for women
For men, use a short towel.
Men and women are in the same space, roughly masked while distinguishing each other.
I’m taking a bath
Some places have separate entrances for men and women.
If you go back, there is a fun place where men and women bathe together in one bath.
In the case of a bathhouse operated by an inn
A separate space is provided on the second floor.
We provide additional services such as herding and massage.
What’s unusual is
Female masseuses unhesitatingly smack in men’s baths
There are places where you come in, give a helping hand, and collect the service fee.
1.Japan’s mixed bathing culture began in public places such as inns and temples.
2. Men and women bathing in the same space
If you make separate men’s and women’s baths, the cost goes up.
It started with the realistic reason that management is difficult.
3. Now, Seshin Massage service has been introduced to Korea.
It’s a thriving business, but the rates are quite expensive.
