Does Hasegawa allow tattoos? In a private bath
Hasegawa doesn’t publish a tattoo policy, so book one of its two private baths when you reserve your room. Write your first and second choice of time in the booking remarks.
The inn publishes no tattoo rule for its large bath or open-air bath, which day visitors also use.
The bath
Two private baths are for staying guests. Kira no Yu costs ¥2,750 for 45 minutes, with slots starting on the hour from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Yumemi no Yu, on the inn’s mild spring water, costs ¥4,180 for 60 minutes, with slots at 4, 5:15, 6:30, 8 and 9:15 p.m.
Two special rooms have hot-spring water in their own tub: Kuzuryu, with an open-air bath under an open sky, and Asuha, with a semi-open-air bath. The okomori-buro rooms, with a small enclosed bath, use ordinary heated water.
The large bath, with a washing area of Shakudani stone, and the open-air bath are open 3 p.m. to 9:30 a.m. These are shared baths with no published tattoo rule. Day visitors can use them from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m., for up to 60 minutes, at ¥800 for adults.
