Sekitei
庭園の宿 石亭
Does Sekitei allow tattoos? In a private bath
Twelve rooms scattered through a hillside garden above the Ono strait, each with its own tub, and a tea salon, library and sunken lounge between them.
Every one of the twelve rooms has its own bath, so the question does not arise. The inn’s fact sheet lists the room fittings as open-air, half-open-air or karasu-buro tubs and marks them 全室完備, fitted in all rooms. There is also a salon with a reservable bath attached. Sekitei publishes no tattoo rule anywhere on its site, and that silence says nothing about any bath you would share.

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 fact sheet lists a bath in every room; 45 pages of the site carry no tattoo statement.

Best for: A garden of 1,500 tsubo with a bath in every room that looks into it
Twelve rooms in three groups: three in the main house with the Seto view, seven detached ones facing the garden, and two in the pavilions. Dinner is served in the room, breakfast in the hall, and chairs can replace floor seating on request. The spring is a simple weak radioactive water. Rooms sit on a gentle slope with steps, though the inn says it can put guests in a step-free room and keeps a wheelchair.
