KKR Hotel Kanazawa
KKRホテル金沢
Does KKR Hotel Kanazawa allow tattoos? Yes, covered
Opened in August 2026, this bath beside the castle park has a seven-meter main tub, an auto-loyly sauna and a cold plunge run at whatever temperature the city water is.
The bath page refuses tattoos and, in the next line, says the hotel sells 8-by-10-centimeter concealment seals. The FAQ says the same with firmer words and a confusing aside that stickers are refused too, then points to the seals in the shop. Read together, a small tattoo under the hotel’s own seal is the intended route; confirm at the desk before you undress.
