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
Men's and women's large baths across two bathhouses ('Kaze no Yuya' and 'Tsuki no Yuya') with rock baths, jet baths, reclining baths and a sauna.
Open-air bath
Open-air bath with views over the surrounding mountains.
Private (kashikiri) bath
Private family-size bath described on the official site; price not stated online.
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.

Why Agoda for Japan: it lists a lot of ryokan and small inns that the Western booking sites never picked up, and it usually prices Japanese properties in yen, so you are not paying a conversion spread on top of the room rate. Worth comparing before you book — the difference on a ryokan is often larger than you would expect.
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.

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.
