Pregnant women can bathe in an onsen without worrying about harming themselves or their unborn baby, according to the government guideline.
Under the new guideline adopted in 2014, the Environment Ministry removed pregnant women from a list of those unfit for soaking in hot springs after failing to find scientific evidence that a good soak endangers pregnancy.
The previous guideline had been in effect since in 1982.
A panel under the ministry studied medical papers from Japan and overseas but could not find anything on onsen causing premature birth, miscarriages or other pregnancy risks, the officials said.
They don’t even know exactly why pregnant women were put on the list in the first place.
“It could be out of concern that the floor of a bathhouse is slippery, and pregnant women tend to get dizzy easily,” one official said.
