You were lucky to be allowed in... Until recently, a lot of hot spring resorts and public baths were refusing foreigners, claiming that they didn't wash themselves well enough before getting into the baths, or weren't rinsing the soap off themselves enough and getting the water dirty. Many still won't allow people in who have tattoos.
