Itoyanagi Koyado Yuwa
糸柳こやど ゆわ
Does Itoyanagi Koyado Yuwa allow tattoos? In a private bath
Yuwa is Itoyanagi’s small inn, and one of its three free private baths is a room that used to be the inn’s large bath.
Yuwa’s day-bathing notice turns away tattooed bathers from its large baths. Staying guests have three private baths free for 45 minutes each, one of them a room that used to be a large bath, and a few special rooms have an open-air bath of their own.

Best for: Three free private baths to rotate through during one stay
The private baths are for staying guests only; day visitors cannot book them. Special rooms with an open-air bath are on a floor without an elevator. The shared baths, Ao-no-yu and Mizuki-no-yu, each have an open-air bath and use alkaline spring water run through activated stone. Free colored yukata. Agoda’s URL and OpenStreetMap still use the name Kutsurogi no Tei Kunitachi, which also appears on the inn’s own day-bathing notice.
