Why this phrase
Sento and onsen changing rooms give you a basket for clothes, not a safe. Cash, passport, and phone go in a 貴重品ロッカー, a small valuables locker on the wall. Reveal the system: the basket is not security. Then teach the word. Staff may add 「貴重品はロッカーへ」. One takeaway. Do not scare people. Japan is safe. This is still the one open bowl you should not trust with a passport.
