Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Premium Yamanaka Grand Hotel

Does Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Premium Yamanaka Grand Hotel allow tattoos? Yes, covered

Cover seal required

The big bath here is built as a staircase of tubs down a slope, a tanayu, with open-air pools in the trees beside it. Tattooed guests get in with the group’s paid cover seals and not otherwise.

The hotel refuses tattooed guests in its large baths unless the tattoo is fully covered by the hotel’s own cover seals, which it sells. The group’s FAQ sets the limit: whatever two 10 × 14 cm seals can hide, at 220 yen each from the front desk. The same notice appears on the day-bathing page, so it applies to walk-in bathers too.

※入れ墨・タトゥーのある方は大浴場をご利用いただけません。ただし、当館指定のカバーシール(有料)を貼って、入れ墨、タトゥーが完全に覆える場合に限り、大浴場をご利用いただけます

The operator’s own wording, to show at the desk if you need to.

Where it is

Yamanaka Onsen STN
Kanazawa is the door. Yamashiro, Yamanaka and Katayamazu are eighteen minutes on the Shinkansen to Kaga-Onsen and then a local bus of ten to thirty minutes. Awara is the next Shinkansen stop, 26 minutes, and eight minutes on the Keifuku bus. Awazu is the IR Ishikawa Railway, the old JR line, 38 minutes, and a short bus. Komatsu Airport, with flights from Tokyo Haneda, is closer to these towns than Kanazawa is..

JR Hokuriku Area Pass Four days on the Hokuriku Shinkansen between Tsuruga and Kurobe-Unazukionsen, non-reserved, for 7,000 yen. It covers the ride from Kanazawa to Kaga-Onsen; the Hokutetsu Kaga bus from the station is paid separately. Worth it if Awara, Unazuki or a second Kaga town is on the same trip. Sold on Klook.
