Dormy Club Karuizawa
ドーミー倶楽部 軽井沢
Does Dormy Club Karuizawa allow tattoos? Bath of your own, not spring water
A small hotel in the Sengataki woods that has made itself over for families with babies, down to bath toys and a water thermometer, with two private baths bookable by the hour.
Two indoor private baths, one in cypress and one in stone, rent by the 40-minute slot, and a family takes one alone. Dormy Club publishes no tattoo rule for its shared baths. Its FAQ says none of the water in the house, shared or private, is natural hot spring: it is Togoru-yu, an artificial mineral bath.
