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
The tattoo policy is not stated publicly. Please contact the facility.
How it scores
Every onsen on this site is scored on the same five things.
The baths
Indoor bath
Separate men's and women's baths, entered undressed as usual.
Open-air bath
Open-air hot spring, no swimsuit.
Indoor bath
German-style 'bade zone': a mixed area you enter wearing a swimsuit, with exercise bathing, jacuzzis, cascade jets and a cold plunge. Because you stay clothed here, this is the part of the building where a tattoo is least likely to be an issue - but the operator publishes no tattoo rule, so ask first.

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.
