Does Hotel Route-Inn Nagoya Sakae allow tattoos? Yes, covered

Cover seal required

A Sakae business hotel whose radium bath runs from mid-afternoon to two in the morning and opens again at five.

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.
