Yado Shiontei
やど紫苑亭
Does Yado Shiontei allow tattoos? In a private bath
Shiontei has no communal bath at all: ten rooms, ten source-flow tubs, and a reservable open-air bath let to one party a day.
There is no tattoo rule here because there is nothing shared to make a rule about. Shiontei sells ten rooms a night and every one of them has a source-flow bath, open-air or indoor, that the room’s own guests use whenever they like. A separate open-air reservable bath is let to one party a day for a fee. Premium suites Soukyu and Kasho carry half-open-air tubs usable around the clock.

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 温泉 page: 全部屋、源泉かけ流しの天然温泉)

Best for: A tattooed traveler who wants the question to be irrelevant for the whole stay
The house caps itself at ten rooms in two layouts and calls the arrangement “my own hot spring”. Because there is no large bath, nothing here is sold to day visitors. This is the most expensive address in Kaike.
