Does Andaikan allow tattoos? In a private bath
Andaikan has no private bathroom to sell, so it sells time instead: arrive at two, before the other guests, and the indoor bath is yours for an hour.
Andaikan has no tattoo policy and, by its own FAQ, no dedicated private bath. It offers an early check-in at 14:00, before other guests arrive, with an indoor bath to yourselves for an hour at 1,100 yen per room. Its bath page adds that the baths can be taken privately on weekdays. Arrange it when you reserve.

How we know
Confirmed from official site, bath structure rather than a tattoo policy (the inn’s information page and bath page)

Best for: Travelers who can arrive at two in the afternoon and want the old inn’s bath alone
Early check-in 14:00, one hour of private use of the indoor bath, 1,100 yen per room. The bath page says private use is possible on weekdays and, on nights before holidays, sometimes for guests who arrive early; ask. Two retro indoor baths, a small hinoki one and a tiled one, swap between men and women after dinner and after breakfast. Booking.com sells rooms with a shared bathroom.
