There is getting to be an abundance of Japanese "taking to the waters" as we say. Onsens. Conditions are present where people have been overindulging this last year in this sensory and dopamine overload haven and no one is putting any regulations onto its use. People have actually died this year by taking in the waters and It doesn't make sense why drugs or sex with preteenagers of the opposite sex are given considerable scrutiny compared.

You know how tobacco is widely legal while marijuana is harshly punished despite being less harmful? Well it's a cousin case to that.
Historically, onsens were heavily regulated but following the post WW2 occupation Big Onsen managed to establish relations with the Americans and managed to have most restrictions regarding their creation and usage, like the "3 hours of use per month at most" rule that was implemented in the Heian Period, totally removed. Following on this and capitalizing on the nationwide depression, onsens were marketed as an enjoyable and cultural pastime and their popularity boomed. Of course this led to a vast number of deaths and some regulations were reinstated over the years but thanks to their already established foothold and extensive PR campaigns, Big Onsen has managed to maintain a vicegrip on Japan that allows them to continue their practices to this day.
