Arima Onsen, Kita-ku, Kobe Large hotel with rooms with their own open-air bath, and day-use baths ★★★★☆

Arima Grand Hotel

有馬温泉 有馬グランドホテル

Does Arima Grand Hotel allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

A ninth-floor bath with a view and another in the basement, both open to day visitors, and for anything larger than a one-point tattoo the annex Yuraku, where the rooms have an open-air bath of their own.

Two routes, and the size of your work decides which. The large baths refuse tattooed guests except for a small one-point tattoo under the hotel’s own 10×10 cm (3.9×3.9 in) cover seal, which is the tightest allowance on this page. For anything bigger the answer is a room in the 別墅 結楽 annex, which has its own open-air bath.

入れ墨やタトゥーをお持ちの方は、大浴場のご利用をお断りいたしております。※小さなワンポイント程度のタトゥーにつきましてはカバーシール(10㎝×10㎝)で隠していただければ入浴いただけます。

The operator’s own wording. Showing it settles the question.

What happens when you arrive

Skip the shared baths and reserve the private one the way this page describes; once the door is closed nobody is checking anything.

How we know

Confirmed Confirmed from official site (the day-use page for the seal, the room pages for the private baths)

Read on: arima-gh.jp/etc/dayuse/

Best for: A view bath if your work is a small point; a private one if it is not

A ninth-floor bath with a view and another in the basement, both open to day visitors as well as guests. Read the seal allowance strictly: it is for one small point, not for a sleeve broken into pieces.
