Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Gero Bekkan

大江戸温泉物語下呂別館

Does Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Gero Bekkan allow tattoos? Yes, covered

Cover seal required

The group’s smaller Gero house stands on the inn street itself, a short walk from both public baths, and carries the same printed cover-seal rule.

Same wording as the group’s Honkan up the hill. The large baths are closed to tattooed guests unless the hotel’s own paid cover seal hides the tattoo completely, and the seal is sold on site, so nothing has to be carried in from home.

※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.
