Haiya
あわら温泉 伝統旅館のぬくもり 灰屋
Does Haiya allow tattoos? In a private bath
The private bath at this 1884 inn has a sauna of its own, rented by the hour, and the garden annex rooms keep a flowing-spring tub beside a carp pond.
Reserve the private bath, which comes with its own sauna. Haiya rents it first come, first served for an hour at a time, so the whole room is yours. The Shofuan garden annex rooms add a flowing-spring tub in the room. The inn publishes no tattoo rule for the shared baths.
