Can you bathe here with a tattoo?
This is the question we built the site around, so we answer it per situation.
Visiting for the day
Guests with tattoos are refused entry to the facility, so private baths are not an option either.

How it scores
Every onsen on this site is scored on the same five things.
The baths
Indoor bath
Large indoor bathing zone plus several saunas (including a view sauna and loyly).
Open-air bath
The signature feature is an open-air 'standing bath' about 25 m long looking straight out over Sagami Bay; free-flowing open-air tubs alongside it. Children aged 4 to elementary school may not use the standing bath, the free-flow open-air bath, the view sauna, loyly or the stone spa.

Why Agoda for Japan: it lists a lot of ryokan and small inns that the Western booking sites never picked up, and it usually prices Japanese properties in yen, so you are not paying a conversion spread on top of the room rate. Worth comparing before you book — the difference on a ryokan is often larger than you would expect.
About the day-pass link: Asoview is the main place day-use onsen in Japan sell entry tickets and discount coupons in advance. It is a Japanese-only site, so use your browser’s translation — you show the ticket on your phone at the door.
