Kinugawa Onsen Large ryokan

Asaya Hotel

あさやホテル

Does Asaya Hotel allow tattoos? Yes, covered

Cover seal required

The hotel with the rooftop bath at the head of the Kinugawa strip, thirteen floors up with the gorge below it, and a shuttle bus that loops the resort’s hotels from the station for three hundred yen.

A one-point tattoo under a seal, and nothing larger. The hotel asks tattooed guests to keep out of the large bath and use a private bath or the one in their room instead — then makes an exception for a single small piece a cover seal hides. The seals are sold in the sixth-floor shop, so you can buy them after you arrive.

刺青・タトゥーのある方の大浴場のご利用はご遠慮いただいております。貸切風呂もしくはお部屋のお風呂をご利用いただきますようお願いいたします。ワンポイントのタトゥーにつきましては、カバーシールなどで覆える場合に限り大浴場をご利用いただけます。

The operator’s own wording. Showing it settles the question.

How we know

Confirmed Confirmed from official site (the hotel's own FAQ)

Best for: Kinugawa's landmark bath, if your tattoo is small — and its private baths if not

No seal size is published. “One point” is the limit the hotel sets, and it is a smaller allowance than the chains that publish centimeters.
