Does Ooike Hotel allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

Ooike is built around families with small children, with baby beds in both changing rooms and a kids’ room, and its fifth-floor bath looks straight at Mount Fuji.

Ooike publishes no tattoo rule on its own site. It has two private garden open-air baths, Enza-no-yu and Hojo-no-yu, and some rooms have a bath of their own with a view of Mount Fuji. The hotel says the private open-air baths are not hot spring water.

Where it is

Everything here is reached from Tokyo. Karuizawa is an hour on the Hokuriku Shinkansen and Echigo-Yuzawa 79 minutes on the Joetsu Shinkansen, both with no change. Kawaguchiko is the Fuji Excursion from Shinjuku, about two hours, and Isawa the Kaiji, an hour and forty. The Nagano towns change once: Bessho at Ueda, Nozawa at Iiyama, and Yudanaka, Hakuba and Myoko at Nagano.. Ooike Hotel · map data © OpenStreetMap contributors · open in Google Maps

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 hotel’s bath and room pages)

Read on: ooike-hotel.co.jp/spa

Best for: Families with small children who want a bath to themselves

Private garden open-air baths Enza-no-yu and Hojo-no-yu: the hotel writes 貸切露天風呂は温泉ではありません (the private open-air baths are not hot spring water); the bath page gives no price. The fifth-floor large bath faces Mount Fuji; the garden open-air baths Seseragi-no-yu and Komorebi-no-yu swap between men and women. The top-floor special room and the open-air-bath Japanese-Western rooms have a room bath with a Fuji view. Both changing rooms have baby beds, and baby soap is lent. Shuttle to Kawaguchiko STN.
