Does Hamachidori no Yu Kaishu allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

A ryokan on the tip of the cape below Senjojiki, with two hot spring sources, a mixed open-air bath reached by ninety steps toward the water, and two private open-air baths that cost nothing and take no booking — you go down and see if the door is free.

Not the large baths — and the ryokan says in the same answer where to go instead: the private open-air baths. There are two, Sekisho-no-yu and Iwato-no-yu, both free and taken as you find them, no booking. Nothing to cover in either, and the sunrise from the second is the reason people set an alarm.

当館では「刺青」が入った方の大浴場のご利用はご遠慮いただいております。貸切露天風呂をご利用をお願いしております。

The operator’s own wording. Showing it settles the question.

What happens when you arrive

Skip the shared baths and reserve the private one the way this page describes; once the door is closed nobody is checking anything.

How we know

Confirmed Confirmed from official site (the ryokan's own FAQ)

Read on: dormy-hotels.com/resort/hotels/shirahama_kaisyu/faq/

Best for: A tattooed guest who wants an open-air bath over the Pacific without negotiating for it

The house also has a mixed-bathing open-air bath entered in bathing wear, ninety steps down toward the sea. The FAQ answer names the private baths and not that one, so ask at the desk before using it. Same company as Dormy Inn and La Vista Kusatsu Hills, and the same answer as La Vista: private baths, not seals.
