Tattoos not allowed (day visit)Policy not published (overnight)

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.

○Anything else nearby — In the middle of things

The most convenient hot spring in Okinawa and the least scenic - it sits a minute off Kokusai-dori, Naha's main shopping street, in the base of a business hotel. Two bathhouses swap daily and hold around ten tubs between them, but only one of those is actually spring water (a sodium chloride spring); the rest are jet and bubble baths. Three saunas per side and a stone-sauna option make it a place to spend a couple of hours rather than a soak with a view. Open from 6:00, which suits an early flight.

Every onsen on this site is scored against the same written rubric. This score has been reviewed by the editor. The ones marked Visited were also bathed in personally.

The baths

Indoor bath

Two bathhouses with different designs, swapped between men and women daily, holding around ten tubs in total - jet, shaped, fountain, Hertz and other bath types alongside the hot spring tub. Three saunas on each side: steam, dry and salt.

Open to day visitors

Open-air bath

The hot spring tub itself is the open-air-style one; the remaining tubs are tap water.

Open to day visitors

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.

What we have not confirmed

We would rather show a gap than guess.
