Does APA Hotel & Resort Roppongi-eki Higashi 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
Genyo no Yu: a wide indoor bath and, in the hotel’s words, an open open-air bath. APA’s standard bath water: a “quasi-natural Komeiseki hot spring”, which is to say an artificial spring made with a mineral ore, not water from the ground. The property page gives no opening hours; ask at check-in.
The hotel
An all-non-smoking hotel in the chain’s resort grade, with a restaurant, Sakura Roppongi, on the ground floor and rental Wi-Fi boxes in the lobby. The chain has several hotels within walking distance in Roppongi and warns guests not to confuse them; this is the one east of the station, towards Roppongi-itchome.
What is good about it
- Three minutes from Roppongi-itchome, seven from Roppongi STN.
- Indoor bath and open-air bath, all rooms non-smoking.
- Two 10×12 cm seals free per night.

Three minutes from exit 3 of Roppongi-itchome STN on the Namboku line — straight over the footbridge, the hotel says — or seven from exit 6 of Roppongi STN on the Hibiya and Oedo lines, and seven from Tameike-sanno.

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.
