Privacy is essential, especially when you're soaking in a hot spring wearing just your swimwear. Here are 5 quick checks to protect your personal space.
1. Can the room be securely locked?
Double-check for solid locks. Bring a travel doorstop or privacy alarm if needed.
2. Look for odd holes or mirrors
Check clocks, smoke detectors, and mirrors for hidden cameras. Test mirrors by touching them—no gap between your finger and its reflection could mean it's two-way.
3. Watch out for security cameras
Even legitimate ones should never point at windows or soaking areas. Scan for any mounted devices in corners.
4. Outdoor or wild springs? Watch for hikers
Visit off-peak hours and bring curtains or a buddy to keep watch while you bathe.
5. Does the facility ban photography?
Check signage. A no-photo policy with staff enforcement is a good sign they take privacy seriously.
