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.
Staying overnight
The tattoo policy is not stated publicly. A private or in-room bath is available, which is often an option for tattooed guests.
How it scores
Every onsen on this site is scored on the same five things.
The baths
Indoor bath
A wooden bathhouse fed directly by the Yunomine source (92.5C at the well, pH 7.6), including the 'kusuri-yu' medicinal bath and an 'oshi-buro' steam-and-pressure bath. Yunomine claims a 1,800-year history and is often called Japan's oldest hot spring.
Private (kashikiri) bath
The inn lists a private bath (kashikiri-buro) alongside the main baths, but publishes no price, booking method or opening hours for it.
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.
