Kurobe Unazuki Onsen Togen
黒部・宇奈月温泉 桃源
Does Kurobe Unazuki Onsen Togen allow tattoos? In a private bath
Nine baths under one roof, and three of them are small glazed tubs by the Kurobe River that cost staying guests nothing: you take one for forty minutes, lock the door, and go back for another turn later.
Togen publishes no tattoo rule on its pages, and gives you more ways around the question than anywhere else in town. Three small private baths in glazed ceramic, fed straight from the spring, are free to staying guests for 40 minutes at a time. A larger rock-and-granite private open-air bath for up to eight costs 2,200 yen, and three suites have their own open-air bath.

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, bath structure rather than a tattoo policy (the inn’s own 温泉 page for the private baths and their prices, and its お部屋 page for the three 露天風呂付客室). Its FAQ is a talkappi chat widget that did not load in this browser.
