Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Awara
大江戸温泉物語 あわら
Does Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Awara allow tattoos? Yes, covered
A buffet hotel whose two garden open-air baths, one of rock and one on slatted decking, are open to day visitors for 900 yen on a weekday.
Cover it and you can bathe. The hotel’s own bath page bars tattooed guests from the large baths unless the tattoo is completely hidden under the hotel’s designated seals, which are sold, not given. The group FAQ sets the limit at two seals of 10 by 14 centimeters, 220 yen each at the front desk, and bans fake stickers and body paint too. The same rule is printed on the day-use page, so it binds visitors who are not staying.

※入れ墨・タトゥーのある方は大浴場をご利用いただけません。ただし、当館指定のカバーシール（有料）を貼って、入れ墨、タトゥーが完全に覆える場合に限り、大浴場をご利用いただけます
The operator’s own wording, to show at the desk if you need to.

Best for: A small tattoo, a family budget and a buffet dinner with the bath included
Not strong spring water: the hotel labels its source as a cold mineral spring that qualifies as onsen by its metasilicic acid content but carries no therapeutic spring name, and says the baths are diluted, heated and recirculated. Large baths 15:00 to 24:00 and 05:00 to 10:00; sauna 15:00 to 24:00 and 07:00 to 10:00. Two garden open-air baths, a rock one and a slatted-deck one. Day visitors 07:00 to 10:00 and 15:00 to 24:00, last entry 22:00, adults 900 yen on weekdays, 1,300 at weekends and 1,500 on peak dates. No private bath is advertised. Some annex rooms on Booking.com have their own indoor bath; the hotel does not say those tubs carry spring water.
