Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Awazu Grand Hotel

大江戸温泉物語あわづグランドホテル

Does Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Awazu Grand Hotel allow tattoos? Yes, covered

Cover seal required

The indoor bath floors here are laid with tatami, which the hotel says makes them safe underfoot for small children, and the spring is Awazu’s own. Tattoos go in only under the group’s paid seals.

The hotel’s bath page bars tattoos from the large baths unless they are completely covered with the paid cover seals the hotel sells. Ooedo’s group FAQ puts the ceiling at two 10 × 14 cm seals, 220 yen each, bought at the front desk. There is no private bath for guests who need more cover than that.

※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.

Where it is

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.. Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Awazu Grand Hotel · map data © OpenStreetMap contributors · open in Google Maps

JR Hokuriku Area Pass Worth it only if Awazu is one stop on a longer Hokuriku trip. It covers the Shinkansen from Kanazawa to Komatsu, ten minutes, but not the one-stop IR Ishikawa ride on to Awazu or the bus into the onsen town. Sold on Klook.
