Tamatsukuri Grand Hotel Choseikaku
玉造グランドホテル 長生閣
Does Tamatsukuri Grand Hotel Choseikaku allow tattoos? In a private bath
The tubs here are laid with polished agate, the stone Tamatsukuri has cut since the Kofun period, and the hotel keeps one agate open-air bath for the single top-floor room rather than for the crowd.
The shared baths are closed to tattoos, and Choseikaku says so in both languages without hedging. What it offers instead is stated in the same answer: the reservable family bath, 45 minutes at a time for houseguests only, or the top-floor room Izumo, whose agate-lined open-air bath is used by the people staying in it and nobody else.

Can guests with tattoos use the public baths? No. We kindly ask guests with tattoos to refrain from using our public baths. Please use the private bath (reservation required) or your room’s bath.

Best for: Booking the top-floor Izumo room and skipping the shared baths entirely
The family bath is 1,650 yen for one 45-minute session, by reservation, houseguests only, usable 16:00 to 23:00. The room Izumo is the top-floor suite, renovated March 2023, and its open-air tub is lined with agate; only its occupants may use it. The house spring is blended from the hotel’s own sources, which the operator notes makes its water a simple spring rather than Tamatsukuri’s usual sulfate-chloride classification.
