Onyado Nono Asakusa
御宿 野乃浅草
Does Onyado Nono Asakusa 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.
Refused in principle, admitted if a cover seal hides the tattoo completely. Dormy Inn’s seals come in three sizes up to 118×172 mm (4.6×6.8 in), two per guest at most; each property’s FAQ says they are provided “depending on the facility” and that stock is limited, so bring your own.

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
Ryoun no Yu, in the basement, is filled from the inn’s own source: black water with no particular smell, smooth rather than slippery, rich in minerals and, above all, that strange colour. Outside the indoor tub, in the open air, are two pot baths to sink into and let overflow. A dry sauna with a television, a chilled pot-shaped cold bath, and the cool-down in the open air in the middle of Asakusa.
Open 15:00 to 10:00 the next morning; the sauna is off between 01:00 and 05:00. Dormy’s free extras are here: an ice lolly after the bath in the evening and a lactic drink in the morning.
The hotel
152 rooms — singles, doubles, queens and twins — and every one of them has a tatami floor, so shoes come off at the door, with Serta beds and soft Japanese futon on top. Check-in 15:00, check-out 11:00. The chain’s Japanese-Western buffet breakfast with a local dish.
What is good about it
- The inn’s own spring, black water in the tub and in two open-air pots.
- Tatami in every room, shoes off at the door.
- Four minutes from the Tsukuba Express, eight from the Ginza line.

A chain rule, with the largest seals of any chain — when they are in stock
Onyado Nono is Dormy Inn’s ryokan-styled brand, and its FAQ page gives the chain’s answer word for word: refused in principle, but a tattoo that a cover seal hides completely may bathe. Three seal sizes — 85×105, 100×140 and 118×172 mm — and two per guest, so two large ones cover about 400 cm², the most of any chain on this site.
The same FAQ adds that seals are provided “depending on the facility” and that “stock is limited”. Bring your own of the right size and the rule works in your favour every time.
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.

Two large seals cover about 400 cm² — the most of any chain listed here — but the FAQ says stock is limited. Carry your own of the right size.
