Does Bettei Oborozukiyo allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

Nineteen suites on the quiet end of the Sagidani slope, not one of them under 78 square meters, and every one with an open-air tub on its own terrace.

Every room here is a suite with its own open-air bath, and the inn lists no communal bath, so there is nothing for a tattoo rule to govern. Nineteen rooms, all of them 78 square meters or larger. The inn publishes no statement about tattoos, and we do not read that as permission for anything beyond the bath attached to your own room.

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. The rooms page states every room type is a suite with an open-air bath.

Best for: A suite of at least 78 square meters with its own open-air tub

Nineteen rooms in seven layouts, from 78 to 94 square meters, two of them fully Japanese and the rest Japanese-Western, sleeping 76 in total. Adults-only in feel rather than by rule; the kitchen works to the season.
