里山の休日 京都・烟河 · Yunohana Onsen
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.
Staying overnight
The tattoo policy is not stated publicly. A private or in-room bath is available, which is often an option for tattooed guests.
How it scores
Every onsen on this site is scored on the same five things.
The baths
Indoor bath
Both the men's and women's bath halls are floored with tatami made for bathrooms - less slippery, and warmer underfoot in winter. There is a shampoo bar with three choices each for men and women. Overnight guests bathe 15:00-25:00 and 5:00-10:00.
Open-air bath
An open rock-built outdoor bath. Source is Yunohana Onsen, a simple weak radioactive spring (weakly alkaline, hypotonic, low temperature) with radon.
In-room bath
Some rooms have their own natural hot spring open-air bath. Note the FAQ states clearly that there is NO private (kashikiri) or family bath at this inn - so an in-room bath is the only non-shared option, and only for overnight guests.
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.
