Lake Shikotsu Tsuruga Resort Spa Mizu no Uta
しこつ湖鶴雅リゾートスパ 水の謌
Does Lake Shikotsu Tsuruga Resort Spa Mizu no Uta allow tattoos? In a private bath
Mizu no Uta is the one place on Lake Shikotsu that names cover seals in its refusal, so the reason to come is a room with the spring piped onto its own balcony.
The FAQ is explicit and it closes the usual workaround: guests with tattoos are asked to refrain from the large bath, and the question it answers names cover seals as included in the refusal. So the seal trick does not work here. What is left is the rooms, and the hotel sells three categories with their own spring bath: special rooms with an open-air onsen bath, Japanese-Western rooms with an open-air onsen bath, and Japanese-Western rooms with an indoor onsen bath.

Best for: A room bath at Shikotsuko Onsen with a buffet downstairs and a pillow gallery to borrow from
The large bath is called Shikotsu Biyu, with a Finnish sauna on both sides, open 11:30 to 01:00 and 05:00 to 09:30, and face and bath towels are stocked there. Day use is sold only as a set with lunch. Children of the opposite sex are admitted to the bath and changing room up to age six. Rooms with their own spring bath are the 温泉露天風呂付特別室, 温泉露天風呂付和洋室 and 温泉風呂付和洋室 types; the 展望バス types are a view bathtub rather than a spring bath. There are also dog rooms, a fitness gym, a cigar room and a burger stand in the garden.
