Tattoos not allowed (day visit)

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

No — tattooed guests are turned away

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.

○Somewhere to sit — You can spend the day here
○Anything else nearby — In the middle of things

A very large bathing complex bolted onto an amusement park, with restaurants, a stone-sauna floor and a kayo-show stage - somewhere to spend a whole day rather than to seek out the water. It is also the clearest no in Mie for tattooed travellers: the rule covers the whole building, names art make-up and fashion stickers, and explicitly rejects covering up with tape or a rash guard, so the family bath changes nothing. At 2,500 yen before 3 pm it is also the most expensive bath here; arriving after 7 pm halves that.

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 indoor bathing halls, plus a barrier-free bath.

Open to day visitors

Open-air bath

Open-air bathing on what the operator calls one of the largest scales in Japan.

Open to day visitors

Private (kashikiri) bath

A family bath is available for a fee and can be reserved. It does not exempt anyone from the tattoo rule, which covers entry to the building.

Open to day visitors

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.
