Candeo Hotels Osaka The Tower
カンデオホテルズ大阪ザ・タワー
You can use the bath with your tattoos visible. Nothing to cover, no size limit, and nothing to declare at the desk.
No restrictions. The sky spa page states the hotel does not restrict entry on the basis of body art or tattoos — nothing to cover, nothing to declare.
当ホテルのスカイスパではボディアート・タトゥー等による受入れ制限をしておりません。
The operator’s own wording, copied from the page linked below. Holding up your phone settles the question faster than explaining it.
Candeo does not set this centrally, and that matters more than it sounds. Each sky spa announced its own removal on its own date — 24 May 2023 at Roppongi and at Kyoto Karasuma Rokkaku, 1 May 2024 at Shimbashi — while three of its Osaka-prefecture properties still ask for cover seals, and two more, at Kobe and Nankai Wakayama, take a third route again and set aside a late-night window instead. So there is no “Candeo policy” to rely on. The property’s own page is the only thing that answers the question, which is what this listing links to.
There is nothing to do. Check in, go to the bath. No seal to buy, no measuring, no declaration to make, and no size at which it stops being allowed. If a member of staff does query it, the operator’s own wording is above — showing it ends the conversation without either of you needing the other’s language.

Candeo sets this per property, not chain-wide — three of its Osaka-prefecture hotels still require seals.
Osaka is stricter than Tokyo. Four of its large bathhouses close the cover-seal loophole in writing and one attributes its ban to guidance from the authorities, which leaves the hotels as the way in — and only three of them ask for nothing.
