Yumoto Kanko Hotel Saikyo
湯本観光ホテル西京
Does Yumoto Kanko Hotel Saikyo allow tattoos? In a private bath
Three detached rooms sit in the garden here, each ending in an open-air tub of water straight off the source.
Saikyo publishes no tattoo rule, so the large bath, the open-air bath, the bubble bath and the sauna are all unknown. What it does publish is a detached wing, Saikyo-tei, of three rooms, each with its own open-air bath running free-flowing source water, and a reservable open-air bath in the main building. Book the wing or the reservable bath and the question does not arise.

Best for: A detached garden room with a free-flowing open-air tub, in a hotel that also has a bowling alley.
Three detached Saikyo-tei rooms, all looking onto the garden, all with a free-flowing source-water open-air bath; the grandest is a guest room of 12.5 plus 4.5 tatami with a living room and a twin bedroom. The main building also runs the Nagato-no-Sho wing, made to look like an old street. The hotel’s own summary lists a large bath, an open-air bath, a private reservable open-air bath, a sauna and a bubble bath. Day bathing 1,200 yen for adults, 600 yen for children. Non-smoking throughout, with smoking rooms on the first and third floors. There is a bowling alley, a karaoke room, a table-tennis corner, a foot-bath cafe and an aroma salon inside.
