Funatsu, on the west side of the onsen town Ryokan with spring open-air baths in two floors of rooms and a suite annex

Does Mimatsu allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

Tubs of cypress, stone, rock and Shigaraki ceramic sit in the rooms here, and the inn will try to give you the material you ask for.

Book an open-air-bath room and the question disappears. Mimatsu puts a tub on its own spring in every room of the Biyuu annex and on the fourth and fifth floors, open from check-in to check-out. The inn says nothing about tattoos in its domed large bath.

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.. Mimatsu · 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.

How we know

Confirmed from official site (bath structure, not a tattoo policy)

Read on: mimatu.net/spa/

Best for: Choosing your own tub: cypress, stone, rock or Shigaraki ceramic, room by room

Rooms with an open-air bath: the eight-suite Biyuu annex on the first floor (each tub a different material, with a shower room off it), plus 14 rooms on the fourth floor (Yuyu) and 14 on the fifth (Haruharu). The inn says it will try to match a requested tub type at booking. The large bath, Taiyoden, is a dome with a waterfall and an outdoor view bath, and takes day visitors; its hours change on 1 October 2026, so check the page. Agoda sells a Guest Room with Open-Air Onsen Bath.
