APA Hotel Hiroshima-Ekimae Ohashi
アパホテル〈広島駅前大橋〉
Does APA Hotel Hiroshima-Ekimae Ohashi allow tattoos? Yes, covered
An APA with an open-air tub as well as the usual 大浴殿, four minutes from Hiroshima Station across the Kyobashi river.
APA refuses tattooed bathers and then sells the exception: if the ink fits under two of the company’s own point tattoo cover seals, 10 by 12 centimeters each, you may use the bath. Overnight guests get two seals free at the front desk per person per night, handed over one night at a time, and you collect them each time you go down. Day-spa visitors buy theirs.
Show this at the front desk
入れ墨（タトゥー）をされた方のご入場は固くお断りいたします。ご入場後でもその事実が判明した時点で、直ちに退去していただきます。ただし、当社指定のシール(ポイントタトゥカバーシール)[サイズ10cm×12cm]2枚以内でタトゥーを覆うことが出来る場合には大浴殿を利用できます。
The operator’s own wording, to show at the desk if you need to.

A chain rule with the smallest seal on this page
APA states its rule centrally, in force since 19 March 2019 and repeated on every property page: tattoos are refused in the daiyokujo unless they can be hidden under no more than two of APA’s own point cover seals, each 10×12 cm (3.9×4.7 in).

How we know
Confirmed from official site (APA’s central 大浴殿について customer-support page, read in a browser because apahotel.com refuses fetchers)

Best for: Two palm-sized tattoos and an open-air tub a few minutes from the Shinkansen platforms
The property lists 大浴殿・露天風呂 among its facilities, along with banquet rooms, the restaurants La Veranda and Hiroshima no Kaze, and a Lawson. The seal rule has run since 19 March 2019 and the same page says a tattoo too wide for two seals is refused. The hotel names no spring on its own page.
