Hotel Route Inn Grand Tokyo Asakusabashi
ホテルルートイングランド東京浅草橋
Does Hotel Route Inn Grand Tokyo Asakusabashi allow tattoos? Yes, covered
Tattoos are allowed if cover seals hide them completely. The bath, Tabibito no Yu, is an artificial spring in separate men's and women's rooms.
The group names no seal size and doesn’t say the hotel sells seals, so bring your own. A tattoo too large to cover is refused.
The bath
Route Inn calls it Tabibito no Yu, the traveler's bath, and here it's an artificial hot spring: tap water softened with a government-approved bath additive, colorless and odorless, which the chain credits with softening the water and easing stiffness and fatigue. Separate men's and women's baths, open 3 p.m. to 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. The women's side has ReFa Fine Bubble shower heads and a ReFa dryer. Body soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion and emulsion on both sides, with cleansing oil, brushes and cotton for women, and shaving foam, combs and razors for men.
The hotel

Smoking corners are on the 1st and 12th floors, which tells you the building's height. Breakfast is a buffet at KUROHIGE, 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., ¥1,800 for adults, with croissants baked on the premises.
