Policy not published (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

They have not said

The tattoo policy is not stated publicly. A private (kashikiri) bath is available, which is often an option for tattooed guests.

△Somewhere to sit — A small rest area
×Anything else nearby — Nothing else around

The main day bath of Yoshioka, a spa village said to be over a thousand years old, on the western side of Tottori city: timber and rock baths with open-air sections, a garden family bath you can hire, a tent sauna and even a bath for dogs, all on free-flowing soft simple spring water. Rest areas are modest (massage chairs, two small rooms) and a farm-produce market is attached. No tattoo rule is published, but the private family bath is open to day visitors.

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

Two large baths - the timber 'Kiburo' and the rock-built 'Iwaburo' - each with a waterfall shower bath. Genuinely free-flowing simple spring (weakly alkaline, pH 8.0, high temperature).

Open to day visitors

Open-air bath

Each large bath has an open-air section.

Open to day visitors

Private (kashikiri) bath

A family bath with a small courtyard garden and a barrier-free bath, 2,200 yen for 40-50 minutes, reservations given priority. There is also a separate private bath for dogs and a Finnish tent sauna using spring-water loyly (book by the day before).

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.
