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
The village bathhouse of Shiramine, a former silk-and-charcoal mountain settlement in the Hakusan foothills. 100% source water, sodium bicarbonate, locally called the 'silk-skin bath' for how it leaves the skin. Indoor bathing.

- Deep in the mountains of Hakusan City, about 80 minutes by car south from the Hakusan interchange along Route 157, or by Hokutetsu Hakusan bus to the Shiramine stop. This is a genuine mountain village stop rather than a resort - useful if you are driving between Kanazawa and the Hakusan trailheads, and impractical otherwise.
