Does Hotel Sekitei allow tattoos? In a private bath
Sekitei put its best bath on the roof, an all-cypress open-air tub it rents by the 40 minutes.
Sekitei says nothing about tattoos. On the roof of the main building is an all-cypress private open-air bath with a view, 3,000 yen before tax for 40 minutes, reserved ahead.

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 onsen page)

Best for: A rooftop cypress bath on a budget room rate
The shared view bath and open-air bath are open 24 hours and swap between men and women. The hotel calls its water free-flowing. Main-building rooms have no bath or shower of their own; new-building rooms have a bath and shower.
