Does Hotel Kifu Club Shiretoko allow tattoos? In a private bath
Two open-air tubs stand in their own building in the garden here, facing the Okhotsk Sea, and each room gets about an hour in one, claimed at the desk the moment you arrive.
No tattoo rule is published, so treat the shared bath as an unknown. The reason to come is a separate little building in the grounds holding two reservable open-air baths, which the hotel books at check-in for about an hour per room. The tubs face the Okhotsk Sea, which means sunset in summer, stars at night and the drift ice in late winter, and nobody else is in them while your hour runs.

How we know
Confirmed from official site — bath structure, not a tattoo policy (the hotel’s own 温泉 page)
Read on: kifuu.com/spa/
Best for: Two people who want an hour of Utoro sunset in a tub of their own, in the smallest and quietest house on the bluff
A family-run all-timber hotel. The two private open-air baths sit in a detached annex and cannot be reserved before arrival: the booking is made at the front desk on the day, one slot of about an hour per room. The spring is given as ナトリウム塩化物ー炭酸水素塩泉, 55.3°C at the source, faintly yellow and odorless. Dinner is a hot-oil fondue the guests cook themselves.
Check availabilityBooking through this button costs you nothing extra and sends a small commission our way — it’s what keeps this guide free for our tattoo community, and every policy on it checked. Thank you.
