Honcho, a few minutes from the star fort Business hotel with a fourteenth-floor hot spring bath ★★★☆☆

Route Inn Grantia Hakodate Goryokaku

ルートイングランティア函館五稜郭

Does Route Inn Grantia Hakodate Goryokaku allow tattoos? Yes, covered

Cover seal required

The bath sits on the fourteenth floor above Honcho, looking across the roofs toward the star fort.

Same rule as its sister by the station, because it is the same group: refused unless a cover seal hides the tattoo completely. Nothing on this property’s own pages narrows or widens that. The bath is on the top floor, the fourteenth, with a relaxation room of massage chairs beside it.

The operator’s own wording, to show at the desk if you need to.

Route Inn sets this once for the whole group — Route Inn, Grand, Ark and Grand Vrio alike — and states it plainly: tattooed guests may not bathe unless the tattoo is completely covered with a cover seal. The whole picture on Route Inn, and every Route Inn listing on this site →
