Kuriya Yasohachi

Does Kuriya Yasohachi allow tattoos? In a private bath
Yasohachi sits outside the town among rice fields, and only two rooms a night come with the terrace bath looking into its bamboo grove.
Yasohachi publishes no tattoo rule. Its room with an open-air bath on the terrace, a Japanese room of 12.5 mats with a sunken kotatsu, is the private option, and the inn sells it to two groups a day. Everything else here shares the large bath.
