Nakanoshima island, five minutes by boat from the pier Ryokan (island)

Kumano Bettei Nakanoshima

熊野別邸 中の島

Does Kumano Bettei Nakanoshima allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

A ryokan that is an island, reached by its own boat in five minutes, with six hot springs under it and a wing, Nagi-no-sho, where every room has an open-air bath of its own above the water.

Book the Nagi-no-sho wing and the bath is yours: every room there has an open-air hot spring bath of its own, on an island with six sources. The bath at the water’s edge, Kishu Choumon-no-yu, carries no published rule, so the wing is the answer.

What happens when you arrive

Skip the shared baths and reserve the private one the way this page describes; once the door is closed nobody is checking anything.

How we know

Confirmed Confirmed from official site — bath structure, not a tattoo policy

Best for: An island to yourself, and a bath on it that is

The wording is 全室客室露天風呂付きの「凪の抄」; the older Shomon-tei wing does not say the same. Reached by the ryokan's boat from the sightseeing pier. No tattoo policy is published.
