Matsunoyu
玉造温泉 松乃湯
Does Matsunoyu allow tattoos? In a private bath
Four reservable open-air baths, each built to a different idea, and Matsunoyu is willing to sell you one by the 50 minutes whether or not you are sleeping there.
No tattoo rule is published here, so the shared baths are an unknown. The four reservable open-air baths are not: each is booked by one party at a time, and Matsunoyu sells them to day visitors as well as houseguests, which makes this the one Tamatsukuri bath a tattooed traveler can use without staying the night.
