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
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.
The baths
Indoor bath
Two themed bathing floors, Europe Zone (Ancient Rome, Greek herbal bath, Atlantis, Blue Grotto, Finnish sauna) and Asia Zone (Islamic stone bath, Persian bath, Bali, Singapore Spa). The two zones swap between men and women periodically, so which one you get depends on the date.
Open-air bath
Japanese stream-side open-air bath in the Asia Zone.

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.
- We have not confirmed whether it takes overnight guests.
