Ashizuri Thermae
ASHIZURI THERMAE アシズリテルメ
Does Ashizuri Thermae allow tattoos? In a private bath
The highest roof in the Ashizuri hot spring village, with one room that keeps a jacuzzi to itself and one that keeps a sauna.
No tattoo rule appears anywhere on the site, including on the pages for the shared baths that take day visitors, so the shared bath is unanswered. Two room grades give you water of your own: the ocean-view room with a jacuzzi, which the hotel calls the only one it has, and the deluxe room with a private sauna on its terrace. Neither is a hot spring tub; the onsen here is only in the shared baths.

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 客室紹介 page names the jacuzzi room and the private-sauna room)
