Conditions
Tattoos must be covered in public spaces such as the large shared bath (cover stickers at the front desk, 330 yen each, 114mm x 114mm). Stays are in principle not refused. However, Article 17 of the bathing rules on the same page conflicts: "regardless of tattoo stickers, persons with tattoos ... are refused entry".

The evidence

Operator's group-wide rule

From the group's published policy (applies to this inn) — its exact words first, then our translation.

Our translationnot the inn's words

(excerpt) As a rule, the Ichinoyu Group does not refuse stays by guests with tattoos. However, when using public spaces such as the large shared bath, please cover your tattoos. Tattoo cover stickers are sold at the front desk. Price: 330 yen per sticker (tax included); size: 114mm × 114mm / Article 17: Regardless of tattoo stickers, guests with tattoos and guests who are heavily intoxicated are refused entry.

  • This is the operator's group-wide rule, not a page written for this inn alone.
  • The inn's own pages say different things. We show every statement we found — ask the inn which one applies.
  • The rule we found is on the inn's day-bathing page. It may not apply the same way to overnight guests — ask the inn.

Ask the inn before you book

Send this in Japanese by email or the inn's contact form. It asks about the shared bath, covering, and private baths.

タトゥーがあるのですが、大浴場を利用できますか?シールなどで隠せば利用できる場合は、その条件も教えてください。また、貸切風呂や客室のお風呂は利用できますか?

Our translation I have a tattoo. May I use the large shared bath? If it is allowed when covered (for example with a sticker), please tell me the conditions. Also, may I use the private bath or the bath in my room?

Private-bath route

Hot-spring bath in your room
なお、タトゥーを気にせず温泉をお楽しみいただきたいお客様には、貸切露天風呂や温泉付き客室のある一の湯グループの施設のご利用をお願いしております。

Our translation For guests who want to enjoy the hot spring without worrying about tattoos, we ask them to use Ichinoyu Group properties that have private open-air baths or rooms with hot-spring baths.
