Sanyoan

Does Sanyoan allow tattoos? In a private bath
Eleven rooms, every one of them with the amber moor spring running through it, and a shared bath lined with wine-colored Italian glass that no day visitor is allowed to see.
Sanyoan publishes no tattoo rule of its own, and its sister wings under the same company refuse tattooed bathers in their large baths, so read nothing into the silence here. The answer is structural: the operator says every room has the moor spring piped in, source-fed, two of them with an open-air tub and nine with a cypress tub. The small shared bath Fugetsu, which swaps between men and women overnight, is the part to leave alone.

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 room baths from /sanyoan/onsen/); no tattoo rule published by this building, while the same company refuses in the Hosyutei and Toyotei baths

Best for: A couple who want a source-fed cypress tub in the room and a dinner cooked for a house of eleven rooms
Eleven rooms: two with an open-air bath, nine with a cypress bath, all on the moor spring and all source-fed. The shared bath Fugetsu has a cypress bath and a glass-mosaic bath in Italian tile, open 15:00 to 10:00 with the men’s and women’s sides swapped, and the operator states it does not take day-use bathers. Same spring as the parent hotel, sodium chloride and bicarbonate, pH 7.9.
