Policy not published (overnight)

Can you bathe here with a tattoo?

This is the question we built the site around, so we answer it per situation.

Staying overnight

They have not said

The tattoo policy is not stated publicly. A private or in-room bath is available, which is often an option for tattooed guests.

The main inn at Fukuroda, five minutes from the falls, with a gorge-side open-air bath fed straight from the source, a garden bath, and rooms with their own free-flowing open-air tubs. The spring is a mild alkaline simple water at pH 8.9 and 40.1C: pleasant, not dramatic. The important thing for a visitor is that walk-in bathing has been withdrawn, so this is a place to stay the night, not to drop into. A free shuttle meets trains at Fukuroda Station.

Every onsen on this site is scored against the same written rubric, and every score has been reviewed by the editor. The ones marked Visited were also bathed in personally.

The baths

Open-air bath

Two open-air baths: a gorge-side bath fed with undiluted source water, and a garden bath.

Overnight guests only

Indoor bath

Large indoor bath, with seasonal baths such as the tea bath and the apple bath.

Overnight guests only

In-room bath

Some rooms have their own open-air bath fed with undiluted source water.

Overnight guests only

A private bath means nobody else is in the water with you — often the practical answer if the shared baths are closed to tattooed guests.
