Does Chateraise Hotel Ryokan Fujinoya allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

Fujinoya runs natural spring water to the tub and even the shower in every room, and puts two private open-air baths on the roof of its annex.

Fujinoya publishes no tattoo rule of its own. Every room bath runs on free-flowing natural hot spring water, shower included, which the inn points out is unusual. The annex roof has two private open-air baths, Hinoki-no-yu for up to four and Tenku-no-yu for up to six, 40 minutes at 1,000 yen per adult for staying guests.

Where it is

Shinjuku STN Kaiji, JR’s limited express on the Chuo line 1 h 38 Tokyo STN Hotel location
Isawa-Onsen STN
Everything here is reached from Tokyo. Karuizawa is an hour on the Hokuriku Shinkansen and Echigo-Yuzawa 79 minutes on the Joetsu Shinkansen, both with no change. Kawaguchiko is the Fuji Excursion from Shinjuku, about two hours, and Isawa the Kaiji, an hour and forty. The Nagano towns change once: Bessho at Ueda, Nozawa at Iiyama, and Yudanaka, Hakuba and Myoko at Nagano..

JR Tokyo Wide Pass Covers the Kaiji from Shinjuku to Isawa-Onsen; the pass area runs as far as Kofu. Worth it if Kawaguchiko, Karuizawa or Echigo-Yuzawa is also on the trip. Sold on Klook.

What happens when you arrive

Skip the shared baths and reserve the private one the way this page describes. Once the door is closed, the bath is yours.

How we know

Confirmed from official site, bath structure rather than a tattoo policy (the inn’s spa page and FAQ, under 客室風呂のお湯は天然温泉ですか)

Read on: fujinoya.chateraisehotel.jp/spa/

Best for: A spring-water bath in the room, down to the shower

Its sister, Chateraise Hotel Isawa across town, answers in its FAQ that tattooed guests may not use the hot springs; Fujinoya’s own pages carry no such line, but ask when you book. The main building has a Japanese room with a hot spring open-air bath; its corner room looks south over the Fuefuki river toward the top of Mount Fuji, per the inn. Rooftop private baths are booked ahead, 2,000 yen per adult for visitors. Shared baths Happo-no-yu and Utakata-no-yu each have an open-air bath and swap at 20:00 and 24:00.

Booking through this button costs you nothing extra and sends a small commission our way — it’s what keeps this guide free for our tattoo community, and every policy on it checked. Thank you.
