Wajoen, Itoyanagi annex
糸柳別館 離れの邸 和穣苑
Does Wajoen, Itoyanagi annex allow tattoos? In a private bath
Wajoen is the annex of Itoyanagi, built as a set of rooms each with an open-air bath, one of them a two-floor maisonette where the bath and a lounge take up the whole ground floor.
Wajoen publishes no tattoo rule. Every room on its room page has its own open-air bath, several in detached wings, so staying here means never needing the shared bath.

What happens when you arrive

How we know
Confirmed from official site, bath structure rather than a tattoo policy (the inn’s rooms page describes each room’s open-air bath)

Best for: A detached room with an open-air bath of your own
Rooms include Kinpu, Fuefuki and Oshuku as detached wings, Togen and Kaikoma with a wooden deck bath, Kentoku for two, and a two-floor maisonette with the open-air bath and a lounge downstairs and the bedroom upstairs; most hold up to four. The inn runs its spring water through an activated-stone filtering and heating system for the ground-floor room baths and the shared baths, and calls the result 活性石温泉; it is not described as free-flowing.
