Does Akazawa Onsen Hotel allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

Tenkyu-no-yu sits on the roof above the Pacific and is let by the hour to one party at a time, which is the only water on this property a tattooed guest can count on.

Read the refusal first: since 1 February 2025 the operator has asked people with tattoos, body paint included, not to enter, except in cases it recognizes under criteria it does not publish. Those criteria are not on the site, so treat the shared bath as closed. What remains is a room type with its own hot spring bath and Tenkyu-no-yu, a rooftop bath rented privately for an hour at 4,400 yen.

2025年2月1日より刺青、タトゥー(ボディペイントも含む)がある方の入館はご遠慮いただきます。ただし、当館が定める基準に従い認める場合を除きます。

The operator’s own wording, to show at the desk if you need to.
