Does Yubara no Yado Komeya allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

Three designer suites sit above the ordinary rooms here, and one of them owns the family bath outright.

Komeya publishes no tattoo rule, so the shared baths are not an answer. Three designer suites are. Suite Kaede and Suite Momiji each have their own open-air bath, and Suite Konoka comes with the family bath Ujo-no-yu held for you until checkout, which is as close to a private bathhouse as the town gets.

Where it is

Hiroshima is the door for Miyajima, 27 minutes on the Sanyo line and a ten-minute ferry, and for the Yamaguchi towns, down the Shinkansen to Shin-Yamaguchi or Asa. Yubara and Yunogo are in the hills north of Okayama, which is 35 minutes from Hiroshima on the Shinkansen.. Yubara no Yado Komeya · map data © OpenStreetMap contributors · open in Google Maps

JR Okayama-Hiroshima-Yamaguchi Area Pass Five days for 17,000 yen: reserved Sanyo Shinkansen seats between Okayama and Hakata, JR West local lines and the Marine Liner to Takamatsu. It covers the Shinkansen from Hiroshima to Okayama. The express bus from Okayama to Yubara is not a JR service and is paid separately. 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, not a tattoo policy. The three suites and the family bath held until checkout are described on the inn’s own rooms page; 45 pages of the site carry no tattoo statement.

Best for: A maisonette suite that keeps the family bath to itself until you check out.

Suite Kaede and Suite Momiji are maisonette special rooms with their own open-air bath. Suite Konoka is the largest and takes dogs, and its guests hold the family bath Ujo-no-yu until checkout. Standard Japanese rooms and cheaper Showa-era economy rooms have no bath of their own, and some of those also take dogs.
