Apparently the guinea pigs have decided that bath time should be a communal experience.
So instead of bathing one at a time, everyone went into the “onsen” together. 
There they were, all crowded into the bath, looking somewhere between relaxed, confused and mildly offended.
No privacy.
No reservations.
No slippers outside the door to check first. 
Just one large communal bath and a whole collection of wet guinea pigs.
After experiencing a real Japanese onsen ourselves, I’m not sure this is exactly what they had in mind…
but the guinea pigs seemed to manage.
Although judging by some of those faces, I suspect they would have preferred room service.
