Only if covered. Ooedo Onsen Monogatari's bath rules, written for every lodging in the group, turn away guests with tattoos from the large bath — except when two of the inn's designated stickers cover the tattoo completely.
- Every lodging of the group (standard, Premium, TAOYA and Wanwan Resort brands)
- No large-bath use with a tattoo, unless two of the inn's designated stickers cover it completely.
- Stickers
- The inn's own designated stickers, sold at the inn (property pages say “paid”). The group does not publish their size.

What its hotels' own pages add
A property page can repeat, narrow or lag behind the group text. What we found on pages of the group's own hotels:
Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Premium Kinosaki (and the group's other bath pages we read)
What the property's page says
“* Guests with irezumi or tattoos cannot use the large bath. However, only where the irezumi or tattoo can be completely covered with the inn's designated cover stickers (paid), the large bath may be used.”
Our translation

What it covers — and what it doesn't
Covers
- The large shared baths (大浴場) of every lodging in the group — the terms say so in their first line.
- Staying guests and day-trip plans alike: the terms cover everyone allowed into the baths.
Does not settle
- The sticker size: the group does not publish it. Two stickers is the limit; whether yours fits is decided at the inn.
- Private or in-room baths: the terms are for the large baths and do not mention them.

If you're refused
Staff on the day have the last word, even under a group rule. Before you book, ask the hotel directly and keep the reply. If you are turned away on the day, ask whether a private or in-room bath is available instead.
