Yubatake Souan
湯畑草莴
Does Yubatake Souan allow tattoos? In a private bath
A no-meals inn standing directly on the Yubatake, where rooms carry their own onsen bath fed straight from the source.
A reservable private bath, booked the day of the stay, plus rooms with their own onsen bath fed straight from the Yubatake. The inn's own site publishes no tattoo policy for the shared arrangement, but the private route makes that moot.
