Misasa, at the Kabu-yu end of town Small ryokan with a granite reservable bath ★★☆☆☆

Yuraku

かがり火の宿 有楽

Does Yuraku allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

Yuraku empties and refills its granite reservable tub for each party, so whoever books it steps into water nobody has used.

No tattoo rule is published, so treat the two large baths as unanswered. The reservable bath is a granite indoor tub that the inn drains and refills for every group, which is about as private as a hot spring gets. It costs ¥1,650 for the party, runs 15:30 to 20:30, is held for overnight guests only, and has to be booked ahead by phone or email.

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 inn’s bilingual 温泉 page)

Read on: misasa.info/温泉/

Best for: A solo traveler or pair who wants the first water of the day at a modest price

The inn writes its bath pages in Japanese and English side by side, which is rare in this town. The large baths do not swap sides: women on the first floor, men on the second, 15:00 to 23:00 and 6:00 to 9:00. Day visitors may use the large bath and open-air bath for ¥800, but never the reservable bath.
