Mimatsu
北陸福井あわら温泉 美松
Does Mimatsu allow tattoos? In a private bath
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.

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.
