Does Miyama Ouan allow tattoos? In a private bath
The four private baths carry a lit board at the entrance showing which are free, and the FAQ names them as the answer for anyone turned away from the big bath.
The house FAQ refuses tattooed guests in the large bath and, in the same answer, sends them to the four private baths instead. Those four are free, need no reservation, and are open from check-in until ten the next morning, with an extra window from eleven to three for guests staying on. A lit board by the entrance shows which of them are empty.
