Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Hotel Shinko
大江戸温泉物語 ホテル新光
Does Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Hotel Shinko allow tattoos? Yes, covered
Hotel Shinko fills a wine bath on one side of its bathhouse and keeps a foot bath out in a garden of koi and ducks, and its tattoo rule is a chain rule: the Ooedo group’s own seal, two at most.
Seal only, and it has to be the hotel’s own seal. The hotel page bars tattooed bathers from the large baths unless a paid cover seal it supplies hides the tattoo completely; the group’s bath terms put the limit at what two of those seals can cover. Day visitors are held to the same rule.
