Himeji, seven minutes' walk from the station Hotel with a large communal bath

Hotel Crown Hills Himeji

ホテルクラウンヒルズ姫路

Does Hotel Crown Hills Himeji allow tattoos? Yes, covered

Cover seal required

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.

Refused in principle, but one cover seal of 8×10 cm (3.1×3.9 in) is enough if it hides the tattoo. Note the difference from most chains: the hotel does not supply the seal. Bring your own.

Show this at the front desk

タトゥーなどを入れたお客様の浴場のご利用は、原則お断りしています。ただし、8㎝×10㎝のカバーシール1枚で見えないようカバーしていただいた場合は、この限りではありません。シールはお客様ご自身で持参願います

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.

How we know

Confirmed Confirmed from official site (the bath's own page)

Best for: Small work, if you travel with your own seals

One seal, 8x10 cm, and you supply it: the smallest allowance on this page and the only one where the hotel provides nothing. Address 兵庫県姫路市東延末3丁目56, which its own access page gives as seven minutes from Himeji station's central south exit.
