Does Haiya allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

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.

Where it is

Kanazawa STN Awara-Onsen STN change to Keifuku bus · 8 min Hokuriku Shinkansen 26 min Komatsu Airport Hotel location
Awara-Yunomachi STN
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.. Haiya · 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.
