Yagyu-no-Sho
柳生の庄
Does Yagyu-no-Sho allow tattoos? In a private bath
Fifteen rooms, no two laid out the same, set in a bamboo grove that the inn has let grow right up to the windows.
No tattoo rule is published, so this is filed on structure. Six of the fifteen rooms have an open-air bath of their own, and the inn states that the bath in every room runs on free-flowing hot spring water. Book one of those six and the shared bath never comes up. The inn says nothing about the shared bath and tattoos, and that silence is not an answer.

What happens when you arrive
Skip the shared baths and reserve the private one the way this page describes. Once the door is closed, the bath is yours.
How we know
Confirmed from official site — bath structure, not a tattoo policy (the inn’s own 客室 page)

Best for: A sukiya-built room with its own spring-fed tub and dinner served in it
The six rooms with an open-air bath are Matsu-no-sho (122 m²), Ume-no-sho (96 m², detached), Ichiju (119 m²), Tsukikage (98 m²), Meigetsu (69 m²) and Yuzuki (79 m²). The inn states “お風呂は全室温泉の温泉掛け流しです”, so the water in the room baths is spring water, not heated tap.
