Does Hotel Hatta allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

From three in the afternoon the men’s wine bath at Hotel Hatta is turned over to one group at a time, up to ten people at a time.

Hotel Hatta publishes no tattoo rule. Its FAQ says the room baths are fed from the spring like the shared ones. The men’s wine bath turns into a private bath from 15:00 to 21:00, big enough for ten, 45 minutes for 3,300 yen, six groups a day, booked ahead and paid at the hotel.

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.. Hotel Hatta · map data © OpenStreetMap contributors · open in Google Maps

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 hotel’s FAQ, which answers that room baths draw straight from the source, and its onsen page for the private wine bath)
