After I read her story below, I heard a new story today.
She is learning Japanese. Her name is XXX.

岐阜(ぎふ)の下呂温泉(げろおんせん)にいきました。 夜友達とろてんぶろにはいりました。 私の友達が「あそこにもひとつろてんぶろがあるよ。」といいました。 「でもホテルからみえるからからいきたくない。」といいました。くらかったのでよくみえませんでした。 そして私が「大丈夫いってくる」といいました。 いざ足を入れるとそれはつめたくてきたないみずでした。 それなんと? いけでした!! はずかしかった。 びっくりしましました。

Hi XXX,

After I read your story about the fake rotenburo, I found a person on TV who had a similar experience like you.

She is a famous Japanese singer and loves onsens. She often goes to onsens here and there, hot ones or cold ones (a cold one is called a "reisen".) One day, she found a good place to stay with a rotenburo. She told that it wasn't surprised to feel cold at first, bathing in the water long time made your body hot later.

When she put the foot in the cold one, something red in the water quickly crossed in front of her. Ohhh, she realized that it's just a pond for carps not a cold onsen. The real rotenburo was next to the fake one.

As soon as hearing that story the MC and guests on the TV studio burst into laughter. Of course, it's a funny one for me. But in her case, she is Japanese, she has many experiences bathing onsens and it was daylight.

As a conclusion, it's natural you made a mistake. (hahaha)
