Does Hoshino Resorts KAI Ito allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

The inn pours source water into its swimming pool to hold the temperature through the winter, which is a use of hot spring water this guide has not met anywhere else on the Izu coast.

No tattoo rule is published on the property’s own pages, so this rests on the rooms. Kai Ito publishes a room type with its own open-air hot spring bath, drawing on the four sources the inn owns. Book that and the shared bath hall, the spring-fed pool and the foot bath are all optional.

What happens when you arrive

Skip the shared baths and reserve the private one the way this page describes. Once the door is closed, the bath is yours.

How we know

Confirmed from official site — bath structure, not a tattoo policy (the property’s own 温泉 page)

Read on: hoshinoresorts.com/ja/hotels/kaiito/sp/onsen/

Best for: A room bath fed by one of four house springs, with a swimwear pool downstairs if you want company

Four sources producing about 600 liters a minute. Besides the bath hall there is a hot spring pool, kept at temperature year round by pouring source water into it, and a free-flowing foot bath facing the garden. The pool is worth knowing about: swimwear is worn, so a tattoo is simply seen rather than covered. Rooms are the Izu Hanagoyomi type, with screens dyed using Izu plants.
