Kirano-yado Subaru
きらの宿すばる
Does Kirano-yado Subaru allow tattoos? In a private bath
Five rooms in a hardwood forest fed by water that drains off Mashu, with two bathhouses between them and a note on the inn’s own page that either one can be taken privately.
Five rooms, two bathhouses, and the inn states on its own page that either bathhouse can be taken privately. The men’s and women’s sides each have an indoor tub and an open-air tub, and the line that matters is the parenthesis on the end of the bath count: 貸切可. With ten guests at most in the building, a private turn is a matter of asking. No tattoo rule is published, so do not count on the shared turn, only on the locked one.

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 own 宿のご紹介 page)
Read on: forestlodge-subaru.jp/aboutus.html
Best for: Two people who want a whole forest bathhouse to themselves and dinner cooked by the couple who run the place
Five twin rooms, extra bed available for a third guest. The whole building is non-smoking and has Wi-Fi. Check-in 16:00, check-out 10:00. Two people on the one-night two-meal plan pay 13,800 to 17,800 yen each depending on season, plus 150 yen bathing tax, and the inn asks for cash. The water is described as a mild alkaline spring from the Mashu groundwater that surfaces in the Biruwa forest. Pets are not allowed indoors; there is a cage in the annex lobby. The inn says its own availability calendar on the booking sites is often wrong and to call.
