Does Petit Hotel Yubara Resort allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

A ten-room Western inn in the middle of a Japanese onsen street, with the spring piped into every room’s own tub.

Every room here has its own bath and tap, and the operator says the bath water in the rooms is the spring itself rather than tap water. The detached rooms go further and have a family bath big enough for three. There is also a reservable open-air bath. No tattoo rule is published, so treat the shared bath as unknown and book a room that solves it.

Where it is

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 room baths, the family bath in the detached rooms and the reservable open-air bath are on the hotel’s own room and bath pages; 45 pages of the site carry no tattoo statement.

Best for: A Western room in a Japanese onsen town with the spring piped into its own tub.

Ten rooms, all with different layouts: Western twin, triple and suite, and Japanese-Western rooms for four and six plus a semi-barrier-free detached room. All rooms have a bath and toilet, and the bath runs spring water. The detached rooms have a family bath that three people can use at once. The hotel also runs an orgel recital, an onsen guide service and sightseeing in a London taxi, and sells day bathing.
