Does Kohan no Yado Morimoto allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

A family inn of more than a century in the middle of Katayamazu’s hot spring streets, whose two private baths are named for the lake and for Kutani ware and run on free-flowing source water.

No tattoo rule is published. Two private baths on free-flowing source water rent for 3,300 yen per 45 minutes, booked at the front desk: Mizuumi-no-yu for two with a lake view, and Kutani-no-yu for four on the garden side.

Where it is

Kanazawa STN Kaga-Onsen STN change to CAN BUS · 11 min Hokuriku Shinkansen 18 min Komatsu Airport Hotel location
Katayamazu Onsen STN
Kanazawa is the door. Yamashiro, Yamanaka and Katayamazu are eighteen minutes on the Shinkansen to Kaga-Onsen and then a local bus of ten to thirty minutes. Awara is the next Shinkansen stop, 26 minutes, and eight minutes on the Keifuku bus. Awazu is the IR Ishikawa Railway, the old JR line, 38 minutes, and a short bus. Komatsu Airport, with flights from Tokyo Haneda, is closer to these towns than Kanazawa is.. Kohan no Yado Morimoto · map data © OpenStreetMap contributors · open in Google Maps

JR Hokuriku Area Pass Four days on the Hokuriku Shinkansen between Tsuruga and Kurobe-Unazukionsen, non-reserved, for 7,000 yen. It covers the ride from Kanazawa to Kaga-Onsen; the CAN BUS from the station is paid separately. Worth it if Awara, Unazuki or a second Kaga town is on the same trip. Sold on Klook.
