Yunokawa seafront, next door to Wakamatsu Seafront hotel from 1928 with a wing of rooms that have their own baths ★★★☆☆

Does Yunohama Hotel allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

The Tokaitei rooms each have a tub the hotel pipes straight off its own source, in a seafront house that opened in 1928.

Ask for the Tokaitei wing. Those are the hotel’s rooms with a bath of their own, and the hotel says the water is piped to every one of them straight from the source. The other seven room categories have no tub, and nothing on the site addresses tattoos in the shared bath, so the wing is the whole answer.

Best for: Your own spring-fed tub in a house that has been on this stretch of shore since 1928

Two springs in the building. The indoor side has four tubs, including a cedar bath, a bubble bath and a lying bath; the two rebuilt open-air baths are Taiyo on the sea side and Ginga on the town side. Spring is sodium and calcium chloride, described as a weak saline. Day use 13:00 to 20:00 at 1,200 yen for adults and 900 for children. No rentable private bath.
