Ad,
same thing lor, my mum was very shy at first, then i told her to strip in a room and walk to another room to soak, but we did not scrub each other lah, still can't do that but the first time, my MIL did that to me, i frozen, she just take a toilet and start to scrub my back, i feel so shy he he he, in japan, we dun have stalls selling sweet or snack leh, only outside the rest area or waiting area, inside the bath area, not suppose to eat. do you know that you are supposed to bathe and wash your body before you soak, that is courtesy and hygiene purpose else everyone soak in dirty water, for me, i always wash first, soak and then wash again, just in case there are inconsiderate ppl who dun wash before soaking but most do wash first lah.
