Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Premium Yoshinoya Irokuen

Does Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Premium Yoshinoya Irokuen allow tattoos? Yes, covered
Emperor Showa was among the guests at this inn’s old villa, the town association says; the villa is now a paid garden and museum nearby, and the hotel that kept the name runs a sauna floor with a deck over the Kakusenkei gorge. The seal rule covers that floor too.
The seal rule here reaches one step further than at the group’s other Yamanaka houses: it covers the TOTONOI sauna floor as well as the large baths. Cover the tattoo completely with the hotel’s paid seals and both are open; the group FAQ allows up to two 10 × 14 cm seals at 220 yen each. A barrel sauna for up to four can be rented by the group, but it is a sauna, not a bath.
