Does Hanabishi Hotel allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

Every room on the ground floor of the Suehirotei wing opens onto its own tub fed straight from the source, which is why the hotel can say plainly that it rents no private baths.

The answer here is a room with its own open-air tub on the hotel’s own spring. Every ground-floor room in the Suehirotei wing has one, the barrier-free room has one, and the Gagyutei suites that opened in May 2026 have one. The hotel publishes no tattoo rule anywhere on its site, and its FAQ says flatly that there is no rentable private bath, so the room tub is the only door that closes behind you.

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 (客室 and 温泉 pages; the FAQ quote is about private baths, not tattoos)

Best for: A spring-fed tub of your own on the ground floor, a few steps from the garden bath you can skip

The operator describes the Suehirotei ground-floor tubs as 源泉掛け流しの専用露天風呂 and the Gagyutei suite tubs as fed from the source. Shared baths, for anyone who wants them: Hishi-no-yu and Hana-no-yu on the first floor, with two and three garden open-air tubs, and Gagyu-no-yu on the seventh with city views, all 15:00 to 25:00 and 05:00 to 10:00.
