Yunokuni Tensyo
ゆのくに天祥
Does Yunokuni Tensyo allow tattoos? In a private bath
One of Yamashiro’s biggest inns, with three large bath halls and a long list of rooms that have an open-air bath drawn from the hotel’s own spring, renovated in stages from 2012 to 2025.
The large baths are closed to tattooed guests: under each of the three bath halls the hotel prints that tattooed and drunk guests are firmly refused. The rule sits in each large bath’s notes, and the hotel sells rooms with an open-air bath on its own source, which is the way to bathe here.

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 (the notice under each large bath on the 温泉 page; room baths from the 客室 pages)

Best for: A suite with its own open-air bath on the hotel’s private source
The refusal appears under each of the three large baths (Kutani, Takimi and Yugen), not as a hotel-wide rule; it does not mention room baths. Room baths: the Tensho wing’s open-air suites (six renewed in August 2025), the Hakuun main wing’s open-air rooms (seven renewed in February 2023) and view rooms in the Hakuun new wing. The hotel calls the water its own source (自家源泉).
