Does Awara Onsen Grand Hotel allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

Yumemakura, the hotel’s private bath, is fitted with a grab rail at the tub and raised stools at the taps, and rents by the 50 minutes.

Reserve Yumemakura, the private bath, for 50 minutes at the desk on the day or by phone ahead. It is built with grab rails and a raised stool for guests who need care when bathing, and the hotel recommends it for families and couples. Rooms with their own open-air tub are also sold. No tattoo rule is published for the seven shared baths.

Where it is

Kanazawa is the door. Yamashiro, Yamanaka and Katayamazu are eighteen minutes on the Shinkansen to Kaga-Onsen and then a local bus of ten to thirty minutes. Awara is the next Shinkansen stop, 26 minutes, and eight minutes on the Keifuku bus. Awazu is the IR Ishikawa Railway, the old JR line, 38 minutes, and a short bus. Komatsu Airport, with flights from Tokyo Haneda, is closer to these towns than Kanazawa is.. Awara Onsen Grand Hotel · map data © OpenStreetMap contributors · open in Google Maps

JR Hokuriku Area Pass Four days on the Hokuriku Shinkansen between Tsuruga and Kurobe-Unazukionsen, non-reserved, for 7,000 yen. It covers the ride from Kanazawa to Awara-Onsen; the Keifuku bus into the onsen town is paid separately. Worth it if a Kaga town or Unazuki is on the same trip. Sold on Klook.

What happens when you arrive

Skip the shared baths and reserve the private one the way this page describes. Once the door is closed, the bath is yours.
