Nagomi no Yu Kachofugetsu
南紀白浜 和みの湯 花鳥風月
Does Nagomi no Yu Kachofugetsu allow tattoos? In a private bath
The hotel has no large bath by design. All 24 rooms have their own spring-water bath, most of them semi-open-air.
The hotel’s FAQ says it built no large bath, to keep guests’ privacy, and put a hot-spring bath in every room instead. It publishes no tattoo policy, and with no shared bath there is nothing for one to apply to.
What the hotel says about its baths
当館ではお客様のプライベートを大事にさせていただく為、大浴場は設えておりません。
The operator’s own wording.
The bath
Every room has a bath on natural spring water. The standard rooms, 37 m², have a semi-open-air tub in wood, a barrel or ceramic, depending on the room. The larger rooms run from the 46 m² designer room to the Kumoi suite, the only one with a fully open-air rock bath plus an indoor bath, which is booked by phone only.
The hotel
Twenty-four rooms: fifteen standard rooms, two panda-themed rooms, a barrier-free room and the larger suites. The hotel’s site doesn’t give check-in or checkout times.
