Kanemidori
昔心の宿 金みどり
Does Kanemidori allow tattoos? In a private bath
A 1902 ryokan near the Yubatake with two reservable private open-air baths on the stronger Bandaiko spring, ¥3,300 for 45 minutes.
Two reservable private open-air baths, ¥3,300 for 45 minutes, booked after arrival, alongside gender-separated shared baths. The shared baths' tattoo policy is unpublished, but the private route makes that moot.
