Does Yukyu no Yado Shiraito allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

A small inn whose open-air bath is rented out twice a night, fifty minutes at a time, to two parties per slot, on water that runs straight through the tub and out again.

A small inn that rents out its open-air bath. Its own onsen page sets aside two slots a night, 16:00 to 16:50 and 21:10 to 22:00, two parties in each, first come first served, at 2,500 yen for 50 minutes; outside those hours the bath goes back to being men’s and women’s. No tattoo rule is published for the shared baths, so the booked slot is the reliable way in.

Where it is

Sapporo STN Jotetsu Kappa Liner coach 56 Hakodate STN Tomakomai STN New Chitose Airport Hotel location
Jozankei Onsen Higashi 2-chome STN
Sapporo to Noboribetsu Onsen is about 1 h 45: the Suzuran, JR’s limited express (a faster train with fewer stops and a fee on top of the fare), then a Donan bus of 21 minutes up to the onsen terminal. Toyako Onsen is the Hokuto, the limited express to Hakodate, as far as Toya, then a Donan bus of 24 minutes around the lake, about 2 h 20 in all. Niseko is about 3 h 25 by way of Otaru and Kutchan, or a direct highway coach for less money. Jozankei has no railway: the Jotetsu Kappa Liner runs there from Sapporo Station in 56 minutes and is booked in advance.

Best for: Renting a free-flowing open-air bath for fifty minutes for the price of a set lunch

Free-flowing sulfur-sodium-chloride water at 60 to 80°C, piped from the holding tank straight into the tub with no recirculation. The open-air bath is in a separate building from the large bath, which is open to staying guests around the clock. Only four private slots exist each night, so ask when you check in.
