APA Hotel & Resort Tokyo Bay Shiomi
アパホテル＆リゾート〈東京ベイ潮見〉
Does APA Hotel & Resort Tokyo Bay Shiomi 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
The hotel has a Komeiseki hot-spring daiyokujo and an open-air bath, which it sells as a wake-up bath in the morning and a sleeping bath at night. 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 for the bath; ask at check-in.
The hotel
706 rooms in the chain’s resort grade, with the thing no other APA in Tokyo has: a swimming pool, lit at night. A brunch buffet runs 06:30 to 14:00 and a dinner buffet 17:30 to 21:00.
What is good about it
- Bath, open-air bath and a pool in one tower.
- Two stops from Tokyo STN on the Keiyo line, towards Maihama.
- Two 10×12 cm seals free per night.
Getting there
Shiomi STN on the JR Keiyo line is next door by the map, two stops from Tokyo STN towards Disneyland; 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.
How we know
Confirmed Confirmed from official site (chain-wide policy, in force since 2019-03-19)
Read on: apahotel.com/customer/stay-services/39/ (chain policy); bath confirmed on the property page
The property page confirms the bath and the open-air bath but gives no hours for them. Nothing here is invented to fill the gap.
Best for: A 706-room resort tower with a Komeiseki bath, an open-air bath and a pool, on the Keiyo line
The smallest seal allowance of the hotel chains on this page, so measure before you rely on it.
