I’m sure the Japanese have many complaints about Western culture when travelling too. Ultimately these are their traditions and we should respect them.
I visited an Onsen recently in Bangkok (artificial of course) and the locals were very vocal about any perceived lack of decorum.

It is still technically a bath after all, despite technically showering before submerging yourself. But that may just be the decades of Japanese media exposure making something seemingly obvious to me.
