Shikotsuko Daiichi Hotel Suizantei
支笏湖第一寶亭留 翠山亭
Does Shikotsuko Daiichi Hotel Suizantei allow tattoos? In a private bath
The indoor tub is cut from cypress the inn dates at a thousand years, the cold bath is filled straight from Lake Shikotsu, and the private open-air bath costs guests nothing for their first forty minutes.
No tattoo rule is published on the hot spring page, the rooms pages or the FAQ, so the large bath is unanswered and should be treated that way. The inn does have a reservable open-air bath that it describes as a completely private space for staying guests, free for forty minutes on a same-day first-come booking, and it sells rooms of every type with a spring bath of their own. Book the private bath at check-in and the question does not arise.

Best for: Forty free minutes alone in an open-air bath, booked at the desk on the day
The private open-air bath runs 15:00 to 23:40 and 06:00 to 09:40, by reservation, one free 40-minute session per stay on a same-day first-come basis. The large bath pairs a rock-built open-air bath with an indoor bath made of cypress the inn says is a thousand years old, and the cold bath is drawn from Lake Shikotsu; it is open 15:00 to 01:00 and 02:00 to 10:30, sauna to 22:00. Room types with a spring bath include a 75 m² room with a view open-air bath and a 60 m² twin with a spring bath and a 90-inch screen with 5.1 surround. The water is a sodium bicarbonate spring the inn calls a beauty water, and it is drinkable.
