Hotel Kaneyamaen
富士山温泉 ホテル鐘山苑
Does Hotel Kaneyamaen allow tattoos? In a private bath
Kaneyamaen is in Fujiyoshida, away from the lake, and it tells you which of its open-air-bath rooms see Mount Fuji and which see only its Japanese garden, floor by floor.
The shared baths are closed to tattooed guests, and Kaneyamaen says so twice on its onsen page. The way in is a room with its own open-air bath on the hotel’s hot spring. The Sanri rooms and the upper-floor Yuraku Yamabiko-tei rooms look at Mount Fuji from that bath; the first-floor Yamabiko-tei rooms look at the garden instead.

What happens when you arrive
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 (the hotel’s onsen page for the refusal; its room pages for the room baths)

Best for: A Fuji-facing open-air onsen bath in your own room
Rooms with an onsen open-air bath: the Sanri rooms in the Seseragi-tei wing (renovated August 2024, with a lounge for their guests) and the Yuraku Yamabiko-tei rooms (12.5 tatami plus a sitting room; floors 2 and 3 face Mount Fuji, floor 1 faces the garden). An ordinary room gives no way to bathe. The large bath and open-air bath Akafuji face Mount Fuji. The hotel describes its spring as alkaline.
