Hotel Route-Inn Nagoya Higashi-Betsuin
ホテルルートイン名古屋東別院
Does Hotel Route-Inn Nagoya Higashi-Betsuin allow tattoos? Yes, covered
A Route Inn south of Kamimaezu whose women’s bath is kept locked and opened with a key from the front desk.
Admitted if a cover seal hides the tattoo completely. The group FAQ refuses tattooed bathers and then allows the large bath to anyone whose tattoo is fully covered by a cover seal. Route Inn’s seal is the largest of any chain in Nagoya at 11.4 by 20 centimeters, and the front desk sells them. The FAQ sets no limit on how many you may use, only that the cover must be complete.
Show this at the front desk
入れ墨(タトゥー)のある方のご入浴はお断りしております。ただし、カバーシールを用いて入れ墨(タトゥー)が完全に覆えている場合に限り、大浴場をご利用いただけます。
The operator’s own wording, to show at the desk if you need to.

Radium artificial hot spring bath Tabibito-no-yu, made with a health-ministry-licensed quasi-drug called Radihope. The hotel keeps the women’s bath locked for security and hands out a key at the front desk, and warns that it has only two washing stations and fills up between 21:00 and midnight on busy weekends. Crowding shows on the room television. All four Route Inn baths in Nagoya run 15:00 to 2:00 and 5:00 to 10:00. Seal size 11.4 x 20 cm.
