Minami 3-jo Nishi 5, Chuo-ku, between Tanukikoji and Susukino Hotel with daiyokujo and open-air bath

karaksa hotel Sapporo

からくさホテル札幌

Does karaksa hotel Sapporo allow tattoos? Yes, covered

Cover seal required

An open-air bath on the second floor that runs until two in the morning and opens again at four, with a hearth lounge on the same landing pouring free drinks around the clock.

Tattoos are refused in principle, but the hotel supplies cover seals at the front desk and you may bathe if the tattoo is completely hidden by them. Ask at reception when you check in. The refusal names stick-on paint tattoos too, so the hotel’s own seals are the only accepted covering.

Show this at the front desk

刺青やタトゥー(ペイントシールを含む)のあるお客様のご入浴は原則お断りしておりますが、当ホテルがご用意するカバーシールで完全に覆える場合はご利用可能です。ご入用の際は、フロントまでお申し付けください。

The operator’s own wording, to show at the desk if you need to.

What happens when you arrive

How we know

Confirmed from official site (the property’s own FAQ page)

Read on: karaksahotels.com/sapporo/faq/

Best for: A late soak outdoors in Sapporo cold, since the bath stays open past two in the morning

The hotel publishes no seal size and no count, which is unusual and worth settling at the desk before you pay. Bath and open-air bath on the second floor, 15:00 to 26:00 and 04:00 to 09:00, free to guests, bathing tax included in the room rate. Towels come from the room, not the changing area. Lounge IRORI on the same floor is open 24 hours with free drinks around a sunken hearth.
