Arima Onsen Nakanobo Zuien
有馬温泉 中の坊瑞苑
Does Arima Onsen Nakanobo Zuien allow tattoos? In a private bath
An adults-only ryokan of thirteen room types, most with an open-air bath of their own and some fed by both of Arima’s springs at once; the most expensive listing on this page.
Not the large bath, and the ryokan says in the same answer what to do instead: book a private bath. Most rooms have an open-air bath of their own as well, which the answer does not need to mention.

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 ryokan's own FAQ, which prescribes the private bath)

Best for: A room where the bath is yours for the whole stay
The most expensive listing on this page. The ryokan publishes no tattoo rule either way, on any page read. In a bath you take by yourself that question does not arise — but do not read the silence as permission for the communal baths. One telephone call would settle those. The FAQ was found on 10 September 2026; until then this listing rested on the room baths alone.
