Does Ginzanso allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

The largest hotel in Ginzan, five minutes' walk from the main street, where some rooms have a semi-open-air bath of their own on top of the shared baths.

Some rooms come with their own semi-open-air reclining bath on the source spring, in addition to the hotel's shared men's and women's baths. Book one of those rooms and the shared bath's policy, unpublished, does not apply to you.

Where it is

Tokyo is the door to all of these. Akiu is the Hayabusa or Yamabiko to Sendai, about 1 h 30, then one bus of 43 minutes from the station. Takayu is the Shinkansen to Fukushima and a bus of 30 minutes up the mountain. Naruko is the Yamabiko to Furukawa and three quarters of an hour up the Rikuu East line. Zao is the Tsubasa, the Yamagata Shinkansen, straight through to Yamagata with no change, then a bus of 37 minutes up to the ski village. Ginzan is the same train as far as Oishida and the town’s own Hanagasa bus. Nyuto is the Komachi, JR’s Shinkansen across to Akita, as far as Tazawako, then a bus of 47 minutes. Hanamaki is the Yamabiko to Kitakami, one stop back on the local line and a bus. Higashiyama is the long one: the Shinkansen to Koriyama, the Ban-etsu West line over to Aizu-Wakamatsu and the loop bus, three hours and more with the waits.

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.

Booking through this button costs you nothing extra and sends a small commission our way — it’s what keeps this guide free for our tattoo community, and every policy on it checked. Thank you.
