Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Yamanaka Saichoraku

大江戸温泉物語 山中彩朝楽

Does Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Yamanaka Saichoraku allow tattoos? Yes, covered

Cover seal required

A plain buffet hotel with one open-air bath and one indoor bath that trade sides between men and women, and a warm stone-bed room for those who find a sauna too much. A tattoo goes in under the group’s paid seals.

Saichoraku carries the group’s standard notice on its own bath page: no large bath for a visible tattoo, but a tattoo completely covered with the hotel’s paid seals may go in. The group FAQ caps it at what two 10 × 14 cm seals will cover and prices each seal at 220 yen at the front desk.

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.. Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Yamanaka Saichoraku · map data © OpenStreetMap contributors · open in Google Maps

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.
