Does Kawaguchiko Onsenji Yumedono allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

Yumedono calls itself an onsen temple and is built in keyaki timber, and it gives each of its 24 rooms a garden open-air bath of its own.

Nothing to ask here. Every one of Yumedono’s 24 rooms has its own open-air bath on the town’s hot spring, and breakfast and dinner are served in private dining rooms as well. The inn publishes no tattoo rule, and its pages describe no bath a guest would have to share.

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, bath structure, not a tattoo policy (the inn’s room, facilities and FAQ pages)

Read on: onsenji.com/rooms/

Best for: A couple who want to bathe together and never meet another guest in a bath

24 rooms, from the open-air-bath twin and double rooms to named suites (Sakura, Aoi, Hikari, Shikibu, Yukari) and detached suites. The inn names the water as the blended Fujikawaguchiko No. 2 and No. 3 sources, a sodium-calcium chloride spring at 26.8°C at the source. Check-in 15:00 to 18:00, check-out 10:00. Children may stay; co-sleeping is limited to children aged three and under, no more than one per adult. The inn’s pages do not say which rooms face Mount Fuji.
