Lake Toya Tsuruga Resort Hikari no Uta
洞爺湖 鶴雅リゾート 洸の謌
Does Lake Toya Tsuruga Resort Hikari no Uta allow tattoos? In a private bath
Fifteen meters of lit staircase climb out of the grounds to a viewing deck called the Ko-no-michi, and the rooms below it come with an onsen tub of their own on the balcony.
The shared baths are closed to tattooed guests, and the hotel says so in its own FAQ without leaving an opening: no seal is offered, there is no reservable family bath, and the refusal is extended in the same breath to religious tattoos. What is open is eight room types with a private onsen open-air bath, out of twelve types and forty-eight rooms in the house. Book one of those and the refusal never touches you.

What happens when you arrive
Skip the shared baths and reserve the private one the way this page describes. Once the door is closed, the bath is yours.
How we know
Confirmed from official site (the hotel’s own FAQ, under タトゥー・刺青を入れてますが大浴場に入れますか？, plus its 客室 page for the in-room baths)

Best for: A private onsen tub on the Sobetsu hillside, in a house that has written down exactly where the line is
Rooms with a private onsen open-air bath: three suite grades, two Japanese-Western rooms in the east and west wings, two designer twins, and a family room. The same FAQ answers 貸切風呂、家族風呂について教えてください with 貸切風呂はございません, so the in-room bath is the only private option. Shared baths run 13:00–1:00 and 5:00–9:30 and do not swap between men and women. Opened 2022 in Sobetsu, and the newest large hotel on this shore.
