Does Kei allow tattoos? In a private bath
A small house five minutes off the Yubatake with three private baths that take no booking at all — you look to see if one is free and go in — and seven room types, three of which have an open-air bath on their own terrace.
Three private baths, taken as you find them — no booking, no charge, you check whether the door is free and use it. Three of the seven room types have an open-air bath of their own as well. The ryokan publishes no tattoo rule, and with no communal bath there is little for one to apply to.
What happens when you arrive
Skip the shared baths and reserve the private one the way this page describes; once the door is closed nobody is checking anything.
How we know
Confirmed Confirmed from official site — bath structure, not a tattoo policy

Best for: Turning up without a plan and finding a bath free
The three private baths are first-come rather than reserved, which is unusual and worth knowing: there is no list to get onto and no time slot to miss.
