 https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/nude-beaches-world-map European countries do generally allow nude sunbathing and have bathing culture. I wasn't just talking about Japan. I can't attest to the accuracy of the map, but it has to be at least somewhat accurate. I don't think it's correct on Japan, as you say. Take it with a grain of salt. Japan is prudish and repressed in many ways, sure, but they do see the practicality of being nude when you have a reason to be nude (e.g. bathing). Hot springs are a social activity and generally individuals are very comfortable (at least) with being nude with the same sex. Oh, and there is weight-based shaming and other forms of discrimination/racism there. There are issues and it's fair to point them out.
