OK in a private bath (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

Yes, if you take a private bath

Tattoos are not allowed in the shared baths. A private or in-room bath is available, which usually means you can still bathe — but this has not been confirmed with the facility.

Not confirmed by the facility. We worked this out from the bath layout, so please check before you go.

How it scores

Every onsen on this site is scored on the same five things.

△Somewhere to sit — A small rest area
○Anything else nearby — In the middle of things

The inn closest to Itsukushima Shrine, in business since the early Edo period. The spring type is not published, so the water scores middle of the range; the point is the location and the rooms with their own open-air bath, several facing the shrine.

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

Indoor bath

Large shared bath on the ground floor. Swimsuits are not allowed in the shared bath.

Open-air bath

Open-air bath beside the large bath on the ground floor.

In-room bath

Several room types have their own bath: all-hinoki open-air bath rooms, junior suites whose open-air bath looks toward Itsukushima Shrine (the Great Torii is partly behind trees), and sea-side royal suites with a semi-open-air bath, cold plunge and sauna. Check-out for rooms with an open-air bath is 11:00 instead of 10:00.

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.
