Does Candeo Hotels Omiya allow tattoos? Yes, covered
Tattoos are allowed in the sky spa if a cover seal hides them. Ask before you book if your tattoo is large.
The rule is on the hotel's own sky spa page, which names no size limit.

The bath
A rooftop open-air bath next to Omiya Station, which the hotel calls one of Japan's leading terminals, and it makes a point of the contrast. The open structure and the dim lighting at night are meant to make you forget the city is there. The indoor tub is the same large, stretch-out design the chain uses everywhere, with plenty of shower booths. The men's side has an auto-löyly sauna and a cold plunge, the women's a mist sauna. Open 3 p.m. to 11 a.m. the next morning, with the saunas closed 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. Guests only. Privacy film on the windows.
The hotel
Candeo's 22nd hotel, self-rated four-star, at 1-401-1 Sakuragi-cho, six minutes from Omiya Station. The rooms run larger than the chain's Tokyo ones: a 17 m² Queen, a 19 m² Corner Queen, 22 m² King and Twin rooms, a 24 m² Corner King that takes four adults, and a 32 m² Corner Triple. Two types matter for a reader of this site. The 32 to 33 m² View Bath Twin and the Private Spa Twin each have an open-air bath of their own off the room, the latter's about six square meters. Check-in is 3 p.m. and checkout is 11 a.m. Breakfast is the chain's buffet.
