Vision problems not unusual in public bathing

Sukayu, one of the Japan’s most famous hot spring resorts, has a slight problem: ladies are sick and tired of the guys taking glances at their pride and joy. This is an easy enough problem to fix, right? Just erect a wall, and hey, everything’s taken care of. No fuss, no muss, right?

The fuss is of epic proportions.

Sukayu has always been a mixed bath, meaning that the starers and the stare-ees bathe together. Additionally, by blocking the stares of pervs, they would be breaking a tradition ranging over 320 years old. Oh, the choices to make! Such choices!

Hey, Japan, here’s a little hint, free of charge: if this bath thing is 320 years old and still popular, it’s probably because these guys know they can get clean and sneak a peek at the same time. I’m just saying, is all.
