Does Yumoto Niseko Prince Hotel Hirafutei allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

Fifty-nine of the rooms here open onto their own hot spring tub, which is less a feature of the building than the reason it is shaped the way it is.

Hirafutei publishes no tattoo rule on its hot spring, facilities or FAQ pages, so the large bath is an unanswered question. It also has no family bath, and says so in the FAQ. What it has instead is scale: 59 of its 151 rooms come with their own hot spring open-air bath, the largest count of in-room onsen of any hotel in Hirafu.

Where it is

Sapporo to Noboribetsu Onsen is about 1 h 45: the Suzuran, JR’s limited express (a faster train with fewer stops and a fee on top of the fare), then a Donan bus of 21 minutes up to the onsen terminal. Toyako Onsen is the Hokuto, the limited express to Hakodate, as far as Toya, then a Donan bus of 24 minutes around the lake, about 2 h 20 in all. Niseko is about 3 h 25 by way of Otaru and Kutchan, or a direct highway coach for less money. Jozankei has no railway: the Jotetsu Kappa Liner runs there from Sapporo Station in 56 minutes and is booked in advance.

What happens when you arrive

Skip the shared baths and reserve the private one the way this page describes. Once the door is closed, the bath is yours.

How we know

Confirmed from official site — bath structure, not a tattoo policy. The hot spring, facilities and FAQ pages were read; none mentions tattoos, and the FAQ states there is no family bath.
