Izumi, southern Osaka — by the expressway rather than a station Hotel with a large communal bath ★★★☆☆

Does Hotel Route-Inn Osaka Izumi 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.

Admitted if a cover seal hides the tattoo completely. The chain’s seals measure 11.4×20 cm (4.5×7.9 in) and are sold at the front desk, so you do not have to bring your own.

刺青・タトゥーがある方は、カバーシール等で完全に隠していただければご入浴いただけます

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.
