Laforet Hakone Gora Yunosumika
ラフォーレ箱根強羅 湯の棲
Does Laforet Hakone Gora Yunosumika allow tattoos? Yes, covered
You can bathe if the tattoo is completely hidden under a cover seal. The size the property allows is the thing to check before you book — allowances differ enough between chains to decide the matter.
Cover seal required, and the hotel names the size: two seals of 8×10 cm (3.1×3.9 in). Tattoos are otherwise refused. Two seals, not one — the allowance is per seal.
Seal size allowed: 8×10 cm (3.1×3.9 in)
Show this at the front desk
タトゥー（入れ墨）を入れている方のご入浴はお断りしています。ただし、カバーシール（8cm×10cm）2枚でタトゥーを隠していただける場合のみご入浴可能です。
The operator’s own wording, copied from the page named under “How we know” below. Holding up your phone settles the question faster than explaining it.
What happens when you arrive
Cover the tattoo completely before you go in, with a seal that fits the size the property allows — that figure is in the policy line at the top of this page, and it is the property’s, not ours. Where the seals are sold at the front desk, buy them at check-in rather than at bath time; where they are not, bring your own. A seal that does not cover the whole tattoo counts as no seal, and staff are within their rules to turn you away at the door. Nothing needs declaring, but nothing may show.

Best for: A small tattoo you can hide under two standard seals
Communal onsen baths with an open-air section, men’s and women’s sides. The 8×10 cm figure is the size of one seal and the hotel allows two, so read it as two separate coverable areas rather than a single 8×20 cm strip. Merged 2026-09-02 with a duplicate entry of the same property; the earlier record described the policy as: "Private bath rooms available at a moderate price point — no restriction there" A third-party site (samuraicarjapanjdm.jp) described private bath rooms here; the hotel’s own bath page describes communal baths only, so that is unverified and not the basis for this listing.
