Does Kaike Grand Hotel Tensui allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

Tensui is frank about what it lacks: the reservable baths are all at its sister house, and the FAQ says so before a guest has to ask.

Tensui says nothing about tattoos, so its view bath and open-air bath are unanswered. It is also honest that it has no reservable bath of its own. Its FAQ sends guests next door to Kasuitei, where three open-air baths and one indoor bath can be taken for 50 minutes at ¥2,200, booked on the day after check-in. That is the only private water a Tensui guest gets, and it takes a short walk to reach.

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 hotel’s FAQ, which states it has no reservable bath in house and directs guests to Kasuitei)

Read on: kaike-grandhotel.co.jp/tensui/faq/

Best for: A tattooed guest who wants a big-hotel price and will walk next door for a private tub

The shared baths run 6:00 to 10:00 and 15:00 to 24:00 and never swap between men and women, so the bath you see on arrival is the one you get. A sauna is attached to the large bath, with no cold plunge. The hotel moved its breakfast to a buffet in July 2026.
