My onsen tip is to soak your towel in really cold water. Then put it on top of your head while you soak in the hot bath.

Also rinse off the stool once you finish your shower and leave the little bucket upside down so that water doesn't collect in it.

Lastly bring your own mini bottles of shampoo and soap because that body wash and rinse stuff will dry your precious locks out in no time.
