Kaike Tsuruya
皆生つるや
Does Kaike Tsuruya allow tattoos? In a private bath
Tsuruya keeps two source-flow tubs, Sarasa and Nagomi, that a passing visitor can book by the hour without taking a room.
Tsuruya prints a refusal, and where it prints it matters. The notice sits in the block describing the large bath and its changing rooms, and again in the block on day-use bathing. It covers fashion tattoos, traditional work and stick-ons alike. The two reservable baths, Sarasa-no-yu and Nagomi-no-yu, are described further down the same page with no such notice, and day visitors may book them. Read the shared baths as closed and the reservable ones as the route, and confirm with the desk when you book.

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 (the 温泉 page: the notice appears under the large-bath block and the day-use block, not under the reservable-bath block)

Best for: A day visitor who can book a private hour rather than argue at the front desk
The reservable baths are source flow and take up to four people: ¥5,000 for 60 minutes, ¥7,500 for 90, and ¥3,300 in the 12:00 to 15:00 window. They run 6:00 to 9:00 and 12:00 to 23:00, and people not staying the night can reserve them. Plain day-use of the large bath costs ¥1,100 and rises to ¥1,200 for adults on 1 October 2026.
