APA Hotel Nagoya Sakae Kita
アパホテル〈名古屋栄北〉
Does APA Hotel Nagoya Sakae Kita allow tattoos? Yes, covered
A second-floor mineral bath three minutes from Hisaya-odori, with the crowding read off a sensor onto the room television.
Admitted only under cover seals. APA refuses tattooed bathers outright, then makes one exception: if the tattoo fits under no more than two of the chain’s own point tattoo cover seals, 10 by 12 centimeters each, the large bath is open. Overnight guests are given two seals free per person per night, handed out one night at a time. Anything a pair of seals cannot cover is refused.

A chain rule with the smallest seal on this page
APA states its rule centrally, in force since 19 March 2019 and repeated on every property page: tattoos are refused in the daiyokujo unless they can be hidden under no more than two of APA’s own point cover seals, each 10×12 cm (3.9×4.7 in).

How we know
Confirmed from official site (APA’s central 大浴殿について customer-services page, read in a browser because apahotel.com refuses fetchers; the bath itself is listed on the property page)

Best for: A short walk back from Hisaya-odori Park with a mineral tub waiting at the end of it
Second-floor Gen’yo-no-yu on artificial Komeiseki mineral water, 15:00 to 25:00 and 6:00 to 10:00, free to guests. Komeiseki is a mineral stone licensed by the health ministry as a quasi-drug; the hotel prints the licensing wording beside the bath listing. The seal rule has been in force across APA since 19 March 2019. Day visitors buy their seals at the desk rather than receive them. Seal size 10 x 12 cm.
