Does Hotel Route Inn Chiba New Town Chuo Ekimae 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 a cover seal hides the tattoo completely. Route Inn’s seals are 11.4×20 cm (4.5×7.9 in), sold at the front desk.
Seal size allowed: 11.4×20 cm (4.5×7.9 in)
The bath
An artificial hot-spring daiyokujo — the chain’s own words are “jinko onsen daiyokujo” — open 15:00 to 02:00 and 05:00 to 10:00, with a men’s and a women’s side and room to stretch out. Not a natural spring.
The hotel
238 rooms in a hotel that opened in February 2020, so it is one of the chain’s newer buildings. Check-in 15:00, check-out 10:00. The comfort rooms on the upper floors add free films on the in-room Route Inn Theater, every room has an air purifier with a humidifier and WOWOW, and breakfast is a free buffet of thirty-odd Japanese and Western dishes.
What is good about it
- On the Narita Sky Access line, three minutes from the station.
- Artificial hot-spring bath from five in the morning for an early flight.
- Free breakfast buffet and a 2020 building.

A chain rule, and the most generous seal of any hotel chain
Route Inn sets this once for the whole group — Route Inn, Grand, Ark and Grand Vrio alike — and states it plainly: tattooed guests may not bathe unless the tattoo is completely covered with a cover seal. The seal it sells at every front desk is 11.4×20 cm, the largest allowance of any hotel chain on this site, and no maximum number is published. The chain adds the limit itself: a tattoo too extensive to cover is refused, so a forearm piece passes and a sleeve does not.
Because it is a chain rule, every Route Inn with a daiyokujo works the same way, which makes the chain the reliable budget option in a city where policy otherwise changes at every door. The seal is bought at the desk, so buy it at check-in.
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.
