Tattoos
Ask about tattoos. Own site (FAQ, onsen page, top) has no tattoo wording. The Lawson Travel listing carries a hotel notice: guests with tattoos may not be able to use the public bath or other shared facilities where tattoos are visible (Japanese: 入れ墨やタトゥーのある方は、公衆浴場やその他入れ墨が他のお客様に見えるような公共施設を利用できない場合があります). This is a hedged 'may be refused' line, so a firm rule is not stated; leans toward not allowed in the shared bath. (recheck Oct 24). Earlier: No tattoo rule on the FAQ or onsen page. Separately, from 2025-07-16 guests may wear a 'bath time cover' bathing garment in the large bath (meant for surgical scars such as breast cancer surgery); bring your own, none provided. Tattoos not mentioned in that notice.
