Ryokan Kiritani Hakoneso
桐谷箱根荘
Does Ryokan Kiritani Hakoneso allow tattoos? In a private bath
A Gora ryokan where the family bath is free and unbooked, on top of a paid reservable private bath and rooms with their own open-air bath.
A free private family bath in the main building, no reservation needed, plus a separate paid reservable private bath and rooms with their own open-air bath. The shared baths' tattoo policy is unpublished, but the private routes make that moot.
