Does Hatori allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

A wood-built inn in the center of Yamashiro with two private baths, cypress and stone, that take the same hot spring water as its large baths.

Hatori publishes no tattoo rule. It has two private baths, one hinoki and one stone, on the same hot spring water as the large baths, open 07:00 to 22:00. Its sister inn Rurikoh sends tattooed guests to private baths; Hatori has not said so for itself.

Where it is

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.. Hatori · 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.

What happens when you arrive

Skip the shared baths and reserve the private one the way this page describes. Once the door is closed, the bath is yours.

How we know

Confirmed from official site, bath structure rather than a tattoo policy (the 温泉 page describes the two 貸切風呂)

Best for: A hinoki or stone private bath in a mid-size inn in the middle of town

Private baths Kurakake-no-yu (hinoki) and Makomo-no-yu (stone), 07:00–22:00; the fee is not published. The Kaede wing’s suites have an open-air tub on the deck, but the inn marks every one as not hot spring water, filled by the guest. The large baths are open 24 hours. Run by Yorozuya Kanko.
