Candeo Hotels Kobe Tor Road
カンデオホテルズ神戸トアロード
Does Candeo Hotels Kobe Tor Road allow tattoos? Yes, covered
You can bathe if the tattoo is completely hidden under a cover seal. The size the property allows is the thing to check before you book — allowances differ enough between chains to decide the matter.
Two routes, and the second is unusual. Cover seals are available at any time. But the hotel also sets aside a nightly window, 23:00 to 03:00, specifically so guests with tattoos and body art can use the sky spa — its stated reason is the rise in overseas visitors and mutual understanding between cultures.
Show this at the front desk
当館では海外のお客様の増加に伴い、多様な文化の相互理解を深めるため、ボディアート・タトゥー等のあるお客様がスカイスパをご利用いただける時間を設けております。時間帯： 23:00 〜 03:00
The operator’s own wording, copied from the page named under “How we know” below. Holding up your phone settles the question faster than explaining it.
Not a chain rule
Candeo does not set this centrally, and that matters more than it sounds. Four of its sky spas ask for nothing — Roppongi and Kyoto Karasuma Rokkaku abolished the rule on 24 May 2023, and the two Osaka properties simply state they do not restrict on body art. Eight others still want a cover seal, and two of those, at Kobe and Nankai Wakayama, take a third route again by setting aside a late-night window instead. So there is no “Candeo policy” to rely on.
Tokyo Shimbashi shows why the property’s own spa page is the thing to read and a notice is not. It announced abolition in April 2024, and its spa page today asks for a cover sticker in the same words the chain’s seal properties use. This site listed it as unrestricted on the strength of that notice until 6 September 2026, and was wrong to.
What happens when you arrive
Cover the tattoo completely before you go in, with a seal that fits the size the property allows — that figure is in the policy line at the top of this page, and it is the property’s, not ours. Where the seals are sold at the front desk, buy them at check-in rather than at bath time; where they are not, bring your own. A seal that does not cover the whole tattoo counts as no seal, and staff are within their rules to turn you away at the door. Nothing needs declaring, but nothing may show.

Best for: Larger work that no seal will cover — turn up after 23:00 and the question does not arise
The sauna here won a Sauna Shran award. Candeo runs the same idea at Nankai Wakayama on different terms — 24:00–04:00, and day visitors excluded — so check the property page rather than assuming the pattern. Both are property-level arrangements, not a chain rule.
