Does Arima Onsen Taketoritei Maruyama allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

Four private baths, free and unbooked — use whichever is empty — on both of Arima’s waters, the iron-brown kinsen and the clear ginsen; some rooms have an open-air bath of their own.

Four private baths, free, and no booking: the ryokan says to use whichever is empty whenever you like. That is unusual — most reservable baths are charged for, or taken by the time you ask — and it means a stay here needs no seal and no permission.

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 — bath structure, not a tattoo policy

Read on: taketoritei.com/spa/

Best for: Bathing more than once a day without booking a thing

Both of Arima's waters are here: the iron-brown 金泉 and the clear 銀泉. Some rooms also have an open-air bath of their own. 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.

Check availability

Booking through this button costs you nothing extra and sends a small commission our way — it’s what keeps this guide free for our tattoo community, and every policy on it checked. Thank you.
