Does Musashi allow tattoos? In a private bath
The ryokan publishes no tattoo policy for its shared baths. Two private semi-open-air baths are rented by phone, ¥3,300 for 45 minutes, and day visitors can book them too.
Two private semi-open-air baths, Seisho-no-yu and Hakusa-no-yu, are reserved by phone at ¥3,300 for 45 minutes for staying guests. Day visitors pay ¥4,400 and can book only on the day. The ryokan’s pages, its long FAQ included, say nothing about tattoos.
