History Main / PublicBathhouseScene

* In a ''LightNovel/ZeroNoTsukaima'' episode, some of the boys at the school dig a tunnel in order to install a peephole in the basement of the womens' bath. Meanwhile [[NotQuiteHuman Tifa]] asks [[{{Pettanko}} Louise]] if it would be OK to feel each others' breasts. BarbieDollAnatomy is in full force.

* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' has an episode titled Bathhouse Battle where the Saotome's house bath is temporarily broken so they have to go to the bath house. In the baths lots of shenanigans go around especially with Ranma accidently changing sex from touching hot and cold water and then finding out that Akane and Nabiki on the girls side were actually NonNudeBathing.
* ''HidamariSketch'': season one and season 2 each have a trip there, Yuno being shy wraps a towel around her breasts during the first one, the second one features mini singoff. BarbieDollAnatomy is in full effect for both scenes.

* ''{{Softenni}}'': has half an episode on this which included teaching the British girl how to use a Furo although it got weird as normally you don't make an afro out of bubbles and do a musical number...[[TooHotForTV Completely uncensored for the DVD releases.]]

* ''DogDays'': The Hero goes to the one in the castle and of course [[AccidentalPervert walks in on the princess.]]

* Rushuna and Yajiro both visited a public bath in the 4th episode of ''{{Grenadier}}'' even though both sides were empty and they were the only ones on both sides.
** Rushuna visits another public bath in the 10th episode.
* Appears in part of the 4th episode of ''SchoolRumble'' 2nd Semester where it had Eri going to a public bath for the first time.

* ''BusoRenkin''
** The [[FanDisservice male]] characters go to a bathhouse, and, since they're bored, decide to compare the sizes of their [[UnusualEuphemism "XXXXX"]]. Humourously, [[BigBad Papillion]] is there, [[GagPenis and his is the biggest]].
*** Two things: a) Pappy is TheRival at this point, and b) we don't know if he is the biggest, as it was comparative and he was wearing a bucket on it as he was walking outside. (He's just weird like that).
** While in the manga the girls go to a teahouse at this point, this is switched in the anime so that they go to a bathhouse too -- with all the usual FanService, ''Skinship'' and LesYay that usually goes with it.
* A public bath is the source of, or setting for, [[HilarityEnsues humourous antics]] (as well as {{Fanservice}}) in several espisodes of ''Manga/{{Chobits}}''.
* ''{{Kanamemo}}'' has a whole episode about the cast visiting a public bath.
* ''LuckyStar'' has one such scene, although given the animation style of the series, it's not nearly as [[{{Fanservice}} naughty]] as some of the other examples...
* There are quite a few such scenes in ''NieA7'', since Mayuko and Niea live over a public bath and love to make use of it. They are fairly light on fanservice, even if they do contain some slight nudity.
* In the ''{{Patlabor}}'' OAV episode "Black Trinary," a suspect is hiding in a public bath, and his only real identifying mark is a group of moles in his armpit. The male officers, as customers, go in to find him, and have to come up with ways to check out the other bathers' armpits (most are not amused). When they do find the guy, [[spoiler: the ensuing fight, which eventually spills out into the street, includes many rather "strategically" placed black dots that bounce around through the air and onto the characters at the appropriate times (pixellation is just so un-funny).]]
* In ''CodeGeass'', one of the [[AllThereInTheManual Picture Dramas]] features a group of Ashford girls (Milly, Shirley, Kallen and Nina) taking a bath together in the Ashford Academy's bath house.
* ''MaicchinguMachikoSensei'' had a few episodes that featured a bath house. Once instance involved a male teacher and student sneaking into one to catch a peak at the title character.
* Occurs in the [[AudioAdaptation Sound Stages]] of ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs'' and ''[[MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikerS StrikerS]]''.

* In {{Piracy The Genetic Pirate Opera}}, America is, unfortunately, walking by a bathhouse as the Supernovas and Capricorn Pirates are using it to wash themselves after their food fight. After some {{Innocent Innuendo}} is said and America sees England's car, he runs away from the bathhouse.

* In ''Assassins of {{Gor}}'' several scenes take place in the Public Baths of Ar, the Rome[=/=]Constantinople of Gor.
* In ''{{The Bridges of Toko Ri}}'', Michener includes a public bathing scene in which the American pilot and his family arrive, and the wife finally, very reluctantly, agrees to bathe nude. They are surprised when a Japanese family arrives. Eventually, the adults and the children have a wonderful time.

* ''A Wish of My Sister'': Hentai manga done by the same artist as ''AkiSora''. The WholesomeCrossdresser main character gets dragged into the girls side, and they end up having sex when the place emptied.

A Japanese bath house (referred to as a ''Sento'') will always have a large wall painting of Mt Fuji in the background, as bathing in the shadow of Mt Fuji is good luck. Scenes come in two types: washing up (with extremely high chance of fanservice), and then relaxing in the bath talking. Chances of "[[SkinshipGrope skinship]]" or LesYay subtext are very high; guaranteed, in fact, if a female LoveableSexManiac is around. If a male LoveableSexManiac is present on the male side, expect him to try to sneak a peek at the girls' side. (Or expect the baths to be coed.) CensorSteam is usually on, as well as [[CensorSuds conveniently placed soap bubbles]] (at least in the TV version - if there is a TooHotForTV version then these will be removed.) You may also see characters carrying a CensorTowel into the actual bath (in RealLife towels are never allowed in, same as in Hot Springs)

When people are seen going to and bathing in a Public Bath. Public Baths have appeared in many cultures from the ancient Romans to the Russians and Japanese. Usually gender segregated, everyone spends their time washing off and relaxing with their fellow sex.

This is very common in Japanese media since many Public Baths are still around the country. The Most often case they are used is by lower class citizens who don't have a bath at their home or the households local bath is not working at the time. Going to and from one expect them all to be wearing a really plain Yukata and carrying a Bath pan with shampoo and conditioner... which can be used as a weapon if needed.
