Kinugawa Onsen Ryokan

Kinugawa Onsen Hotel

鬼怒川温泉ホテル

Does Kinugawa Onsen Hotel allow tattoos? Yes, covered

Cover seal required

An old house on the Kinugawa with two large baths, one built in wood and one in stone, and two private ones that each pair an indoor tub with an open-air one above the river — booked in forty-five minute turns from half past three in the afternoon.

A cover seal gets you into the large baths, and the hotel says what to do if it will not: use the bath in your room, or book one of the two private open-air baths. Both halves are on its own bath page.

刺青・タトゥーのある方のご利用はお断りしております。タトゥー隠しシール等で隠していただいた場合はご利用いただけます。隠せない場合は、客室内の浴槽や貸切風呂をご利用ください。

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

How we know

Confirmed Confirmed from official site (the hotel's own bath page)

Read on: kinugawaonsenhotel.com/spa/keikoku.php

Best for: A covered tattoo in a wooden bath over the gorge, with a private one as the fallback

No seal size is published. This listing said the policy was unstated until 9 September 2026: the rule is on the page for the Keikoku-no-yu bath rather than on the spa index or the private-bath page, which is where it was looked for.
