Does Gora Hanaougi Madoka no Mori allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

Twenty rooms along one corridor, every one with an open-air bath fed from the house’s two springs, which rise from the highest point of any in the Hakone group; the woodwork throughout is by Hida craftsmen.

All twenty rooms have an open-air bath fed from the ryokan’s own two springs, so the bath is yours for the whole stay and nothing needs covering.

What happens when you arrive

Skip the shared baths and reserve the private one the way this page describes; once the door is closed nobody is checking anything.

How we know

Confirmed Confirmed from official site — bath structure, not a tattoo policy

Read on: madokanomori.gorahanaougi.com/rooms/

Best for: Luxury travelers wanting a quiet, secluded forest property with guaranteed private hot-spring bathing

The operator publishes no tattoo rule either way, on any page read. In a bath you take by yourself that question does not arise — but do not read the silence as permission for the shared baths. One telephone call would settle those. Sister property to Gora Hanaougi; Madoka no Mori is the all-private-bath annex
