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
8F large indoor bath, 15:00-25:00 and 5:30-10:30. The official site does not state whether non-staying guests may use the hotel's own 8F baths; the published day-use option is the affiliated Yunosato Okada.
Open-air bath
8F open-air bath, 15:00-25:00 and 5:30-10:30. Day-use status of the hotel's own 8F baths is not stated officially.
Private (kashikiri) bath
Private family bath at the affiliated day-use onsen 'Yunosato Okada', a 3-minute walk from the hotel's 8F. RESERVATION REQUIRED (sessions start on the hour), 45 minutes for 1,500 yen. PAID EXTRA even for staying guests, and open to day visitors as well.
In-room bath
SOME rooms only have a private open-air bath (Botan / Miyabi on the top floor, Suisai, Yuan); Senyu has a private indoor bath, and upper-floor and standard rooms have none.
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.

Book it
The links below are affiliate links — we may earn a commission if you book through them, at no extra cost to you. It never changes what we list or how we score it.
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.
Getting in from the airport

Why not the train: the last leg to an onsen is usually a local bus with nowhere to put a suitcase. A fixed-price car is booked in English and quoted before you travel, tolls and fuel included.
