Grandvrio Hotel Unazuki Onsen

グランヴィリオホテル宇奈月温泉

Does Grandvrio Hotel Unazuki Onsen allow tattoos? Yes, covered

Cover seal required

The old Unazuki Kokusai Hotel, reopened by Route Inn in 2022 as a family resort with a kids’ pool, where the seal rule is written once for the bath and again for the pool.

The hotel’s FAQ says a tattoo may go into the large bath only if a cover seal hides it completely, and that the seals are sold at the front desk. It gives no size or price. The same rule is written for the children’s pool. There is no private bath and no day bathing.

Show this at the front desk

カバーシールを貼って入れ墨、タトゥーが完全に覆える場合に限りご利用頂けます。カバーシールはフロントにて販売しております。

The operator’s own wording, to show at the desk if you need to.

Kanazawa is the door. The Kaga towns and Awara are under an hour away down the Shinkansen and a local bus. Unazuki is the other way: 35 minutes on the Shinkansen to Kurobe-Unazukionsen, a short walk to Shin-Kurobe, and half an hour on the Toyama Chiho Railway, about 1 h 20 in all..

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 whole picture on Route Inn, and every Route Inn listing on this site →

Best for: Families with a small tattoo to cover, drawn by the indoor kids’ pool

The old Unazuki Kokusai Hotel (opened 1987, closed 2020–2021, sold to Route Inn Japan) reopened as this hotel on 28 September 2022 with 81 rooms, a buffet restaurant, a kids’ space and an indoor pool; the ryokan association has commented the Kokusai entry out of its list. FAQ: “当館には貸切風呂はございません” and no day bathing. The FAQ also says bathing garments for surgical scars are allowed across the Route Inn group.
