Yunokawa Prince Hotel Nagisatei
湯の川プリンスホテル渚亭
Does Yunokawa Prince Hotel Nagisatei allow tattoos? In a private bath
One hundred and twenty rooms here have a hot spring tub on the balcony, set so the water sits level with the floor and the Tsugaru Strait fills the frame from the surface up.
Book one of the 120 rooms with its own open-air bath and the shared bath never comes into it. The hotel’s own FAQ says the room tubs can be used at any point during the stay, and its bath page counts them out by type: 74 rock tubs and 18 cypress tubs on the sea side, 28 rock tubs facing Mount Hakodate. Nothing on the site addresses tattoos in the men’s and women’s bath, so treat that bath as unanswered rather than open.

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 (the hotel’s own FAQ and 温泉 page)
Read on: nagisatei.info/hotspring/
Best for: A tub on your own balcony set level with the floor, so the strait fills the whole view from the water
Room tubs: rock (94 rooms, wide enough for two adults), cypress (18 rooms, one adult, all sea side), and rock with a foot bath attached (8 rooms, all Mount Hakodate side). The hotel says the water is 源泉100%です。加水、加温等は行っておりません and gives the spring as sodium and calcium chloride. No family bath: 家族風呂はございません. No day-use bathing, deliberately, so the baths stay with overnight guests. Shared bath 15:00 to 10:00, sauna 15:00 to 24:00 and 07:00 to 10:00. Indoor heated pool free to guests, 15:00 to 22:00. School groups are turned away because so many rooms have tubs.
