Tokyo Yugawara Onsen Manyo no Yu Machida
東京・湯河原温泉 万葉の湯 町田
Does Tokyo Yugawara Onsen Manyo no Yu Machida allow tattoos? Yes, covered
Tattoos are allowed in the shared baths under up to two of the facility's own seals, 11 cm × 20 cm (4.3 × 7.9 in) each, sold at the desk. Larger tattoos go to the private baths upstairs.
The rule is in a notice of September 12, 2025. Seals you bring yourself aren't accepted. For a tattoo two seals can't cover, the 8th floor has rooms with their own open-air bath and a reservable private bath, all on the Yugawara spring water the place trucks in every day.

The bath
The water is Yugawara's, brought up from the spring by tanker every day, the same arrangement as the chain's Toyosu branch, and the reason the place can call itself an onsen inside Tokyo. The shared baths, open-air bath, saunas and hydrogen bath are on the 6th floor, with a foot-bath garden and stone-bed sauna on the 7th. For a tattoo no seal will cover, the 8th floor has rooms with their own open-air bath, for two, with a shower and a six-mat tatami room or a Western twin behind it, and a private bath on the same floor that any guest can reserve. A special room adds a hinoki cypress indoor bath and dinner served in the room.
The hotel
A large day-use spa that also sleeps guests, in Tsuruma on the Machida side of the Yokohama line, with a free shuttle from Minami-Machida Grandberry Park and Machida stations and 200 parking spaces. Overnight guests get the run of the building, the relaxation rooms, the restaurants and the 6,000-book reading lounge, and parking is free for 24 hours.
