AoAwo Naruto Resort
アオアヲ ナルト リゾート
Does AoAwo Naruto Resort allow tattoos? Yes, covered
A hotel that rewrote its own tattoo rule in April 2026 and said why, then put two seals between you and a rock bath at the edge of the Naruto Strait.
Allowed under cover seals, by a written policy the hotel dated and explained. Tattoos that fit under two hotel-issued cover seals may go into the hot spring, the outdoor pool and the beach; the seals are the hotel’s own, so ask at the front desk rather than bringing your own. The hotel adds that it may ask a guest to keep a tattoo covered elsewhere if it is likely to alarm other people. Read the whole 温泉 page before you go: the notices under each bath still carry the old flat refusal, and only the guideline block at the foot of the page carries the 2026 rule.

How we know
Confirmed from official site (the ボディアートに関するガイドライン block on the 温泉 page, dated 2026年4月15日)

Best for: A tattooed traveler who wants a sea-facing rock bath and is willing to wear two seals for it
The guideline names three places it covers: 対象施設：鳴門温泉／アウトドアプール／ビーチ. The same page still prints ※入れ墨・タトゥーのある方のご利用は固くお断りいたします。 under both bath descriptions, which is the pre-2026 wording and is contradicted by the guideline below it. Two baths: the first-floor rock 露天風呂「縹」, men and women swapped by time of day, and the eighth-floor 展望風呂「瑠璃」 with a sauna, fixed to one sex per side since 26 June 2025 and floated with Tokushima citrus in season. Water is a sodium chloride spring, pH 8.0, drawn from 1,120 m, salty enough that the hotel warns it holds heat. This is the house that was Renaissance Resort Naruto until the 2019 rebrand, which is why the Booking.com address still uses the old slug. No reservable private bath and no room with its own tub.
