Dogo, a minute east of the Honkan on Yuzuki-cho Ryokan ★★★★☆

CHAHARU Hanare Dogo Yumekura

CHAHARU離れ 道後夢蔵

Does CHAHARU Hanare Dogo Yumekura allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

Seven rooms behind a wall a minute from the Honkan, with bathtubs glazed in Tobe porcelain and the water in them piped from Dogo.

The parent house, Chaharu, refuses tattooed guests in its large bath and rooftop open-air bath. Yumekura is the annex, seven rooms with no shared bath, and the group’s own FAQ draws the line between them: the rooms at Chaharu are not onsen, the rooms at Yumekura are. That makes this the address to book if you want Dogo water and no one else in the 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 group FAQ states the annex’s room baths are onsen; the refusal it publishes applies to the parent hotel’s shared baths.

Best for: A Tobe-ware tub of Dogo water, one minute from the Honkan door

Seven rooms, sleeping at most 19 people between them, each fitted out with Ehime craft: Tobe porcelain in the tubs and basins, Imabari towels, local miso and Uwa soybeans on the menu. Guests may cross to the parent hotel Chaharu, but its shared baths are closed to tattooed bathers.
