APA Hotel Hiroshima-Ekimae Shinkansenguchi

アパホテル〈広島駅前新幹線口〉

Does APA Hotel Hiroshima-Ekimae Shinkansenguchi allow tattoos? Yes, covered

Cover seal required

The plainest of the two Hiroshima APA baths: one indoor room, no open-air tub, two minutes from the Shinkansen gate.

The same APA rule governs here: refused unless two company seals of 10 by 12 centimeters cover the ink. Front desks give overnight guests two free per person per night. There is no open-air tub at this house, so the whole bath is the one indoor room.

Show this at the front desk

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。ご宿泊の方には、フロントにて1泊1名につき2枚までシールを無料で提供しております。

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)

Read on: apahotel.com/customer/stay-services/39/

Best for: A covered tattoo and a bath you can reach in a couple of minutes off the Shinkansen

The property page lists a restaurant, the large bath and a coin laundry. No open-air bath and no spring named. The address here is taken from the Booking.com listing, which reads Higashi-ku Kamiosugacho 2-29.
