Nah, its still relatively common in Japan for strangers to get naked and bathe together, rarely even in mixed gender baths. Strange idea for some, sure, but its a part of regular life there.


Japanese people have a reputation for being reserved. Do they go to the bath to meet, talk with and hook up with strangers like in Icelandic baths?


If by hook up you mean sex then no, but if you just mean to meet new people then maybe, but people still mostly keep to themselves. Its not a super social setting.
