Does Oiwai no Yado allow tattoos? In a private bath
A celebration-themed inn on source no. 8 whose two private baths, one cypress and one jacuzzi, rent by the 45 minutes.
Oiwai no Yado publishes no tattoo rule. It has two private baths, one of cypress and one with a jacuzzi, at 4,400 yen for 45 minutes between 15:00 and 21:00; the bath page says to reserve by phone and the FAQ says to ask at the desk what is free.
