Wakakusa no Yado Maruei
若草の宿 丸栄
Does Wakakusa no Yado Maruei allow tattoos? In a private bath
Maruei turns tattooed guests away from its top-floor view baths and says so, then points them to Fuyo-no-yu, a private bath facing Mount Fuji that costs 1,650 yen for half an hour.
Not the shared baths, and a seal does not change that: Maruei says its refusal includes stickers. The same notice sends tattooed guests to the bath in their own room or to the paid private bath on the top floor, Fuyo-no-yu, which the inn says looks at Mount Fuji. It is booked in person on the day, in order of arrival, so check in early if you want an evening slot.
