Shodoshima International Hotel
小豆島国際ホテル
Does Shodoshima International Hotel allow tattoos? Yes, covered
Two seals from the front desk, and then an open-air tub so close to the waterline that the hotel had to fence it off from the Angel Road crowds.
Allowed if two cover seals hide the tattoo, and the hotel supplies them. Ask at the front desk for the 8 cm by 10 cm seals; the bath is open to you if the tattoo vanishes under two of them. If it will not, the top-floor executive room has an open-air tub of its own and no rule attached to it, which is the second way in here.
Show this at the front desk

How we know
Confirmed from official site (the 温泉 page, in the notes under the bath table)

Best for: Walking out of a bath at the waterline and onto the sandbar to Yoshima at low tide
Two baths that swap sexes: オリーブの湯 at 83 m² and 浜風の湯 at 60 m², both 15:00 to 24:00 and 05:00 to 09:00. The house is blunt about what is thermal: 温泉は露天風呂のみとなっており、内湯は沸かし湯となっております, so only the open-air tubs carry the spring, an alkaline hypotonic low-temperature water drawn at 28.0°C from Yakatazaki and heated to 42.0°C. 浜風の湯 sits so close to Angel Road that the hotel has fenced the view for privacy and says so. Guests over twelve pay a 150 yen bathing tax. The 露天風呂付きエグゼクティブルーム is 60 m² for four or five people at the top of the main building. There is also a seasonal garden pool and a pair of Yadon-themed rooms.
