APA Hotel & Resort Tokyo Bay Makuhari
アパホテル＆リゾート〈東京ベイ幕張〉
Does APA Hotel & Resort Tokyo Bay Makuhari 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
Each building has its own free daiyokujo for guests: the Central Tower and the West Wing have men’s and women’s baths, the East Wing a women-only bath, and there are saunas inside. The in-room television shows how busy the baths are. The property page gives no opening hours; ask at check-in.
The hotel
A three-building resort by the Makuhari Messe convention halls, with a 50th-floor restaurant, Sky Cruise Makuhari, and a curry house at ground level. Central Tower rooms were renovated in June 2026. The chain does not publish a room count on the page.
What is good about it
- A bath in every building, one of them women-only.
- By Makuhari Messe, half an hour from Tokyo on the Keiyo line.
- Two 10×12 cm seals free per night.
Getting there
Kaihin-Makuhari STN on the JR Keiyo line is about 600 metres away by the map, about half an hour from Tokyo STN; the hotel’s page does not give a walking time.

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.
