Mimizuku-no-Yu
白馬八方温泉 みみずくの湯
Does Mimizuku-no-Yu allow tattoos? Yes!
On the road from Hakuba Station up to Happo, and in cherry-blossom season the operator says you can watch the lit trees from the open-air bath at night with Happo-one and the Hakuba Sanzan behind them.
Tattoos are allowed, with nothing to cover. Mimizuku-no-Yu belongs to the same operator as Happo-no-Yu, and the company’s FAQ answers for all four of its day baths at once: people with tattoos may use them.
