Yamanaka Onsen Ohanami Kyubei
お花見久兵衛
Does Yamanaka Onsen Ohanami Kyubei allow tattoos? In a private bath
A cherry-blossom themed inn with no outdoor bath in its shared bathhouse and three private open-air baths instead, free to anyone staying the night.
Ohanami Kyubei publishes no tattoo rule, and it has three private open-air baths that are free to staying guests, booked on the day in order of asking. The large baths are indoor only, so the private baths are also where the view is. Rooms of the Rokushoan type have their own open-air tub.
