Yamanosato Hotel Hakuba Hifumi
山の郷ホテル 白馬ひふみ
Does Yamanosato Hotel Hakuba Hifumi allow tattoos? In a private bath
Ten rooms, six of them with a hinoki or Shigaraki-ware tub on the terrace running Happo water from the source, and a family bath that costs nothing and is booked for an hour at check-in.
Hifumi publishes nothing about tattoos. Six of its ten rooms have their own open-air bath fed with Happo onsen water straight from the source, and there is a family bath, Yui-no-Yu, that any guest can reserve free for 60 minutes. Both avoid the shared baths entirely.

How we know
Confirmed from official site — bath structure, not a tattoo policy (hot spring, rooms and FAQ pages read in Japanese and English; none mentions tattoos)

Best for: An open-air bath on your own terrace in the middle of Happo
Rooms with open-air baths: suites Toki, Sen (hinoki) and Nagomi (hinoki), and rooms Kaede (Shigaraki), Fuki (hinoki) and Hina (Shigaraki); four standard Japanese rooms have no open-air bath. The in-room baths use the Happo source as it comes, per the hotel. Private family bath Yui-no-Yu: free, 60 minutes, booked at check-in or ahead, check-in to 23:00 and 6:00 to check-out. Two large baths alternate between men and women. Free pick-up from Hakuba Station in a 9-seat bus. The English site says enquiries are by email, not phone.
