You Read the Right Kanji Last Night. Tonight the Same Door Is the Women's Bath.

You learned which bath curtain was yours on night one. On night two, they swapped them, and the sign that told you is the one you walked past.

In this video

男女入れ替え danjo irekae Men's and women's baths swap over.
本日、男女入れ替えです。 honjitsu, danjo irekae desu. The baths swap over today.

Kanji in this phrase

男女: だんじょ
入れ替え: いれかえ
本日: ほんじつ

Why this phrase

Loads of ryokan and onsen rotate the men's and women's baths on a schedule, usually overnight, so every guest gets to try both. The curtain you memorised means nothing the next day. One posted phrase is the whole warning, and once you can read it you check the noren instead of your memory.
