As for the naked thing? Well I suppose it might be a bit awkward at first.
Just another cultural thing to experience when in another country. But then, you might find you like it because the atmosphere is cool and the water, geothermal heat and minerals, feels good. similar to visiting a shrine or temple, the architecture and history is sometimes interesting.
