Sauna Kai
サウナ海 -sauna kai-
Does Sauna Kai allow tattoos? Yes!
A 24-hour sauna house off the Hondori arcade where the mixed swimsuit floor and the locked private rooms both take tattoos, and the front desk sells cover stickers only for those who want one.
Admitted, in the operator’s own words. The FAQ answers the tattoo question with a flat yes, and adds that the front desk sells cover stickers for anyone who would rather not be seen. Nothing has to be covered to get in, which makes this the only bathing house in Hiroshima city we found saying so on its own site.

The operator’s own wording on that page. Nothing here needs showing at a desk. If anyone does ask, show them this. It is the operator’s own wording.
Best for: Any amount of ink, at any hour, with a cold bath and a hinoki sauna
