Dogo Onsen Yachiyo
道後温泉 八千代
Does Dogo Onsen Yachiyo allow tattoos? In a private bath
Thirty-four rooms on Tako-cho, each with its own open-air tub of Dogo water left to run, and dinner laid out in the next room rather than a hall.
Thirty-four rooms, every one of them with an open-air bath fed by Dogo water and run free-flowing, and no shared bath in the building. Dinner comes to a second room next to the bedroom rather than to a dining hall, so a stay here can be had without undressing in front of anyone. No tattoo statement is published, and none is needed for the bath you are booking.
