APA Hotel Keisei Narita Ekimae
アパホテル〈京成成田駅前〉
Does APA Hotel Keisei Narita Ekimae allow tattoos? Yes, covered
You can bathe if the tattoo is completely hidden under a cover seal. The size the property allows is the thing to check before you book — allowances differ enough between chains to decide the matter.
Admitted if the tattoo fits under APA’s own cover seals: two seals of 10×12 cm (3.9×4.7 in), maximum, which must hide it completely. Overnight guests get two free per night at the front desk. A tattoo too large to cover is refused.
Seal size allowed: 10×12 cm (3.9×4.7 in)

The operator’s own wording, copied from the page named under “How we know” below. Holding up your phone settles the question faster than explaining it.
The bath
APA’s daiyokuden, the chain’s large bath, free to overnight guests. The water is a Komeiseki artificial hot spring, the mineral-stone additive the chain uses. Nothing more is published about the room, and nothing more is claimed here.
The hotel
A 458-room APA one minute from the east exit of Keisei Narita STN and five from JR Narita — the largest hotel on this page by some distance. The whole building was refitted through November 2025: a night panel by the pillow with lighting, charging sockets and a one-touch lights-out switch, a 50-inch television on the wall to free the desk, a full-length mirror with hooks for a rucksack, new desks, headboards and carpet. Check-in 15:00, check-out 10:00.
A Lawson convenience store and the restaurant Kyoto Ginyuba are on the ground floor. The free shuttle from Narita Airport calls at Terminal 1, then Terminal 2, then the hotel, about twenty minutes, seven runs a day — two in the morning and five in the afternoon. Eleven parking spaces at 1,500 yen a night.
What is good about it
- Bath free, seals free. Two of APA’s 10×12 cm seals per person per night at no charge — measure first.
- A free airport shuttle from both terminals, seven times a day.
- New rooms as of December 2025 — the whole building was refitted.
Getting there
From Tokyo STN the hotel’s own timing is 1 hour 5 minutes changing at Funabashi to the Keisei line, or 1 hour 16 via Nippori; from Shinjuku about 1 hour 25 either way. The airport is one Keisei stop and a shuttle ride.

A chain rule with the smallest seal on this page
APA states its rule centrally, in force since 19 March 2019 and repeated on every property page: tattoos are refused in the daiyokujo unless they can be hidden under no more than two of APA’s own point cover seals, each 10×12 cm. Overnight guests get two per person per night free; the seals are APA’s, not yours, so the allowance is exactly 240 cm² and not a centimetre more.
That is the smallest allowance of any chain listed here — a third of Route Inn’s by area — so measure before you rely on it. The rule is the same at all 65 of the chain’s large-bath hotels.
What happens when you arrive
Cover the tattoo completely before you go in, with a seal that fits the size the property allows — that figure is in the policy line at the top of this page, and it is the property’s, not ours. Where the seals are sold at the front desk, buy them at check-in rather than at bath time; where they are not, bring your own. A seal that does not cover the whole tattoo counts as no seal, and staff are within their rules to turn you away at the door. Nothing needs declaring, but nothing may show.
