Olivean Shodoshima Yuhigaoka Hotel
オリビアン小豆島 夕陽ヶ丘ホテル
Does Olivean Shodoshima Yuhigaoka Hotel allow tattoos? Yes, covered
One 85 by 105 millimeter sheet from the shop is the whole rule here, and the reward is a ridge-top tub facing the sunset the island is named for.
Allowed under one cover seal, and the hotel prints the size. Buy a tattoo cover sheet at the shop, 85 mm by 105 mm, and if the tattoo disappears under it you may bathe. The rule covers ink, fashion tattoos and tattoo stickers alike, so there is no arguing that a temporary one does not count. Day visitors are held to the same rule as guests.

Best for: A traveler with one tattoo small enough for a single sheet who wants the sunset off the west coast
オリビアンの湯 is an alkaline simple spring with a source temperature of 25.2°C, which the hotel calls rare on the island. A 天空の露天風呂 runs off the main bath along the ridge, with a low-temperature sauna beside it. Guests bathe free 15:00 to 24:00 and 05:00 to 09:00, sauna 16:00 to 22:00. Day visitors come 15:00 to 20:00 with last entry 19:30, 1,200 yen for adults and 600 for children, towel set rented at 300 yen. Mixed bathing stops at seven years old and phones are banned in the changing room. The hotel sits on the coast the Japanese sunset list picked out, which is where the Yuhigaoka in its name comes from.
