Hanayagi no Sho Keizan
華やぎの章 慶山
Does Hanayagi no Sho Keizan allow tattoos? In a private bath
With 116 rooms, Keizan is one of Isawa’s big houses, and 22 of those rooms have an open-air bath of their own, filled from a spring the inn owns.
Keizan refuses tattoos in its large baths and open-air baths, in writing. What it has in their place is volume: 22 of its 116 rooms come with a private open-air bath, and those rooms are sold as their own room types.

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 (the hot spring page for the refusal; the room page for the count of open-air rooms)

Best for: Picking from more open-air-bath rooms than any other inn in town
Rooms with an open-air bath: 15 Japanese-Western, 2 Japanese, 3 Western, and 2 special rooms that add a sauna. In the Shokyakuden open-air rooms and the Nagomi special room the open-air tub is the only bath. The inn’s own spring, free-flowing; the shared baths swap between men and women and have dry and mist saunas.
