有馬温泉 月光園 鴻朧館
Does Arima Onsen Gekkoen Korokan allow tattoos? In a private bath
The shared baths are restricted, but a private or in-room bath is open to you. You are bathing alone or with your own party, so the communal rule does not apply.
A reservable cypress bath, and two rooms with an open-air bath of their own. The reservable one is step-free right to the water, which the ryokan mentions for wheelchair users and which happens to matter to anyone who would rather not be looked at on the way in.

What happens when you arrive
Do not use the shared baths — the rule there is a refusal, and the private bath is the whole reason this listing exists. Reserve it the way the property requires: the notes on this page say whether that is a time slot booked ahead, a request at check-in, or a phone call. Once the door is closed nobody is checking anything.
How we know
Confirmed Confirmed from official site — bath structure, not a tattoo policy

Best for: A private bath you can reach without crossing a changing room
Two buildings, 鴻朧館 and 游月山荘, joined over the river; the barrier-free 檜風呂 is the reservable one. The ryokan publishes no tattoo rule either way, on any page read. In a bath you take by yourself that question does not arise — but do not read the silence as permission for the communal baths. One telephone call would settle those.
