Does Hotel Route Inn Kyoto Kameoka Ekimae allow tattoos? Yes, covered

Cover seal required

You can bathe if the tattoo is completely hidden under a cover seal. The size the property allows is the thing to check before you book — allowances differ enough between chains to decide the matter.

Admitted if a cover seal hides the tattoo completely. Route Inn’s seals are 11.4×20 cm (4.5×7.9 in), sold at the front desk — the most generous allowance of any chain on this site.

Seal size allowed: 11.4×20 cm (4.5×7.9 in)

Show this at the front desk

刺青(タトゥー)のある方のご入浴はお断りしております。但し、カバーシールを用いて刺青(タトゥー)が完全に覆えている場合に限り刺青(タトゥー)があってもご入浴可能です。

The operator’s own wording, copied from the page named under “How we know” below. Holding up your phone settles the question faster than explaining it.

A chain rule, and the most generous seal of any hotel chain

Route Inn sets this once for the whole group — Route Inn, Grand, Ark and Grand Vrio alike — and states it plainly: tattooed guests may not bathe unless the tattoo is completely covered with a cover seal. The seal it sells at every front desk is 11.4×20 cm, the largest allowance of any hotel chain on this site, and no maximum number is published. The chain adds the limit itself: a tattoo too extensive to cover is refused, so a forearm piece passes and a sleeve does not.

Because it is a chain rule, every Route Inn with a daiyokujo works the same way, which makes the chain the reliable budget option in a city where policy otherwise changes at every door. The seal is bought at the desk, so buy it at check-in.

What happens when you arrive

Cover the tattoo completely before you go in, with a seal that fits the size the property allows — that figure is in the policy line at the top of this page, and it is the property’s, not ours. Where the seals are sold at the front desk, buy them at check-in rather than at bath time; where they are not, bring your own. A seal that does not cover the whole tattoo counts as no seal, and staff are within their rules to turn you away at the door. Nothing needs declaring, but nothing may show.
