Pokapoka Onsen Shin-Moriyama-no-yu
ぽかぽか温泉 新守山乃湯
Does Pokapoka Onsen Shin-Moriyama-no-yu allow tattoos? Yes!
A Moriyama bathhouse that sells a 100-yen wristband instead of a cover seal, and lets a tattoo of any size into the water once it is on.
Admitted at any size, with a band rather than a cover. The bathhouse says that whatever the size of the tattoo, you may bathe once you buy its designated 100-yen tattoo sauna band at the front desk and wear it. Nothing has to be hidden. The only people refused outright are members of organized crime groups.
