Hanagokoro, on the seventh floor, is a private open-air view bath on the gold spring, booked ahead by phone at ¥2,200 a person, with a minimum of two. Five rooms on the sixth floor have an open-air bath of their own. The ryokan’s pages say nothing about tattoos.
What the hotel says about its baths

The operator’s own wording.
The bath
Hanagokoro runs 6 to 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., with sessions starting on the hour. A guest alone pays the two-person minimum, ¥4,400, and a cancellation is charged in full. The five open-air-bath rooms have the gold spring around the clock; baths in the standard rooms are not spring water.
The two shared view baths have both springs, indoors and out, and swap between men and women morning and evening.
