Akiu Fuga
秋保風雅
Does Akiu Fuga allow tattoos? Yes, covered
A pair of rock-built open-air baths hang over the Natori river here and are rented by the 45 minutes, in an adults-only house that turns away day bathers entirely.
Relo Hotels, which operates Fuga, publishes a seal rule and applies it to the large baths, the sauna and the open-air baths alike. A tattoo counts as coverable if two of the hotel’s own seals hide it. The seals measure 10cm × 15cm, cost 250 yen each and are sold at the front desk, so nothing needs to be brought. Refusing to wear them can mean being turned away from bathing. The two reserved open-air baths are booked through the guest account and sidestep the question.

Best for: Two people who want a rented rock open-air bath over the river and an adults-only evening
Adults-only house of 24 rooms. Two reserved open-air baths in rock, 45 minutes for 1,100 yen, up to four people, taken through the guest account; there are no showers in them, and heavy snow can close them in winter. Five rooms carry a semi-open-air bath of their own, two at 54 square meters and three at 40. The shared baths run 16:00–24:00 and 06:00–10:00 and the inn takes no day bathers at all. Bath tax 150 yen from age 12. Weak alkaline water at pH 7.8, source temperature 50.2°C.
