Yamanaka Onsen Kagari Kisshotei
かがり吉祥亭
Does Yamanaka Onsen Kagari Kisshotei allow tattoos? In a private bath
Kagari Kisshotei sits right above Korogi Bridge, and it has a standing open-air bath a meter deep beside the stream, two rentable private baths and three rooms with spring water running into the tub.
Kagari Kisshotei publishes no tattoo rule, even though its sister inn up the road prints one. Its answer is two private baths, one of cypress and one of rock, at 3,000 yen for 45 minutes, booked at the desk on arrival. Three top-floor rooms (Mochizuki, Jougen and Shingetsu) have a view bath with running spring water.
