TheMana Village
ザマナヴィレッジ
Does TheMana Village allow tattoos? In a private bath
Suites and deluxe rooms at the tip of Shikoku where the open-air tub sits on your own deck above the Pacific, in a resort that also rents a private sauna with it.
The house publishes no tattoo rule for its shared bath, which the guide reads as nothing rather than as a welcome. The answer here is the room: two suite grades and two deluxe grades come with their own open-air bath, and the top suites add a private sauna, a cold tub and a steam room. Book one of those and the shared bath is beside the point. Rooms marked シャワー付 or シャワー無 have no tub of their own and are not the way in.

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 lists every room grade and which have a 露天風呂)
Read on: themanavillage.com/room/
Best for: A tattooed traveler who wants the Pacific in front of the tub and nobody else in it
Room grades with their own bath: TheManaスイート【露天風呂・サウナ付】洋タイプ and【展望風呂・サウナ付】和タイプ at 90 to 96 m², スイート【露天風呂・テラス付】ST, EX and CO at 48 to 80 m², and デラックス【露天風呂付】和室 and 和洋室 from 48 m². All rooms face the ocean. The shared onsen is あしずり温泉, a weak radioactive spring, and the hotel also sells day-use bathing daily 16:00 to 21:00 at 1,000 yen for adults, so the shared baths take outside visitors. The site does not say whether the room tubs are filled with spring water. The property traded as 足摺パシフィックホテル花椿 until its rebrand, which is why the booking slug still carries the old name.
