Does Sora Togetsuso Kinryu allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

One of the two shared open-air baths was designed by the space designer Tsujimura Hisanobu, and the other is aimed squarely at the sun going down behind Mount Daruma.

No rule is published for the shared baths, so the answer here is the two reservable open-air baths, Iwa and Ishi. They are booked at check-in, 40 minutes for 2,000 yen, and the inn asks that no soap be used in them. Rooms on the fourth and fifth floors add a semi-open-air hot spring tub on the terrace, which is the surer route.
