Does Niseko Ekimae Onsen Kira no Yu allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

The bathhouse sits across the forecourt from the brick-and-timber Niseko station, and it puts the current crowding in each of its two baths on its own home page so you can see before you walk over.

The town-run bathhouse publishes no tattoo rule on any of its pages, so the two large baths are an unanswered question. It does publish a small bath set aside for private use by a few people at a time, taken by application at the counter, and that is the answer a tattooed bather can rely on here. Ask for the shoyokujo when you pay.

Where it is

Sapporo STN Otaru STN change Kutchan STN change JR Rapid Airport, then the Hakodate line 35 min Hakodate STN Tomakomai STN New Chitose Airport Kutchan STN 11.5 km out Location
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.

Best for: Getting off the train and into a bath you do not have to share, one minute from the platform

The small bath is by application at the counter; the site does not publish its fee or session length, so ask. Two large baths, one Western with a granite open-air tub, a jacuzzi and a sauna, one Japanese with a rock open-air tub, a hinoki indoor bath and a sauna; they swap sides by date, Western for men on odd days and for women on even days. Simple alkaline water at 35 to 37 degrees. Open 10:00–21:30, last reception 21:00, closed the second and fourth Wednesday, or the next day when that falls on a public holiday, and open every day in August, September and October. From 1 July the admission rose to 800 yen for high-school age and up and 300 yen for elementary and junior high; Niseko residents keep the old 600 and 250 yen rates. A free tatami rest hall, a shop and a coin laundry are inside.
