Hakusan Onsen
白山温泉
Does Hakusan Onsen allow tattoos? Yes!
A Nishi-ward bathhouse on its own 150-meter well that answers the tattoo question in its FAQ with a flat yes, because a public bathhouse admits anyone.
Yes, and the bathhouse says so in writing. Its FAQ answers the tattoo question with a flat yes and a reason: this is a public bathhouse, so anyone may bathe. The only people it turns away are those who cause trouble for other bathers. No seal, no size rule, no surcharge.

Best for: A 550-yen walk-in soak where the rule is published instead of guessed at
Eight tubs and two saunas on groundwater pumped from about 150 meters down and steeped in mineral ore before heating, so it is not a registered hot spring. The cold tub uses the same groundwater, chilled to about 15 to 16°C. Adults 550 yen, 730 yen with the sauna. 15:00 to 24:00, plus a Sunday morning bath 8:00 to 12:00. Closed Wednesdays. No smoking anywhere inside.
