Does KKR Hakodate allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

The bath looks out on a clipped garden, the water arrives at 65°C from the town source, and the family room next to it goes for a thousand yen an hour.

There is a family bath you can take by the hour for 1,000 yen, which is the cheapest locked door in Yunokawa. The house bath looks onto the garden and runs on the Yunokawa source at 65°C and pH 6.8, and day visitors are welcome in it from 11:00 to 21:00 for 1,000 yen. The lodge publishes no tattoo rule either way.
