Today, I agreed to stay a week with my wife's parents, who she told me were traditional Japanese. I was prepared for having to wear Japanese clothes while in the house, but I wasn't prepared for communal bathing in the same huge bath with her father, grandfather, uncle and two brothers. FML

It's a way to learn their culture. While it may have been a surprise, her family might welcome you even more for being part of their custom.

It's awkward for sure, but like the first commenter said, just try their traditions out. It'll show you respect their culture, respect being a HUGE thing in Japan.

Hopefully the bath house wasn't the first time you met them. That'd be an awkward greeting

Yes it "cultural" but if OP isn't comfortable with it, then they shouldn't have to do it.

There may be the issue they don't think of it as strange though.

The first thing that popped into my head after reading your comment was the scene in the Honeybee Inn from FFVII.

Well... Yeah. It Japan. It's their culture. Was that supposed to be an insult?

I think that it's a good sign if they want to do traditional things like that with you, it shows that they don't think of you as an outsider

oh come on!...Although I don't come from Germany, I live there, and you guys can take a bath naked at the swimming pool showers with other people being around! There is even the FKK "the naked beach" and you are complaining now?

Oh ok but I have only heard of FKK clubs that are only for men who go there to relax, swim, eat, drink etc. but mainly to buy sex from the prostitutes there who walks around naked as well
