Isawa View Hotel
石和びゅーほてる
Does Isawa View Hotel allow tattoos? Yes, covered
A waterfall runs through the garden at Isawa View Hotel, and the tatami corner by the baths looks out on it, with a beer on the house after your soak.
The same rule as its sister hotel Hana Isawa, word for word: no tattoos in the shared baths unless a cover seal of 20 cm or less hides the tattoo completely. With a seal on, both the indoor bath and the garden open-air bath are open to you.

Best for: Covering a small tattoo and bathing beside a waterfall in the garden
One indoor and one open-air bath each for men and women, which do not swap, 15:00–02:00 and 04:00–10:00. The hotel says the women’s open-air bath is unheated, free-flowing spring water that turns too cold to use in winter. No private bath of its own is described. A free beer or grape juice after the bath, 15:00–17:30. Day bathing 1,650 yen with towels. The hotel lists the source at 67.3°C.
