Does Konansou allow tattoos? In a private bath
Konansou answers its guests’ questions in Japanese and English side by side on one page, and it is candid about which of its tubs hold hot spring water and which do not.
Konansou publishes no tattoo rule, so plan on a bath you do not share. It has a private bath on hot spring water, 50 minutes for 3,300 yen, booked at the front desk on the day, and two room types, Rin and Kohaku, with an open-air bath of their own on the same spring. In every other room the tub is ordinary heated water, which the inn says itself.

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.

Best for: Booking a Rin or Kohaku room for an onsen bath of your own
In the inn’s words: 客室の内風呂は温泉ではありません。大浴場・貸切風呂・足湯、露天風呂付客室（凛・琥珀）は温泉です。 That is, the ordinary in-room tubs are not hot spring water; the public bath, private bath, footbath and the open-air bath rooms Rin and Kohaku are. Private bath 3,300 yen for 50 minutes, same-day booking at the front desk, 15:00–23:00 and 7:00–9:00, starting on the hour. Breakfast is a buffet, and room-only stays are possible.
