Does Andaikan allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

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.

Where it is

Tokyo STN Nagano STN change to Nagano Electric Railway · 45 min Hokuriku Shinkansen 97 min Hotel location
Yudanaka STN
Everything here is reached from Tokyo. Karuizawa is an hour on the Hokuriku Shinkansen and Echigo-Yuzawa 79 minutes on the Joetsu Shinkansen, both with no change. Kawaguchiko is the Fuji Excursion from Shinjuku, about two hours, and Isawa the Kaiji, an hour and forty. The Nagano towns change once: Bessho at Ueda, Nozawa at Iiyama, and Yudanaka, Hakuba and Myoko at Nagano.. Andaikan · map data © OpenStreetMap contributors · open in Google Maps

JR East Pass Covers the Hokuriku Shinkansen from Tokyo to Nagano. The Nagano Electric Railway on to Yudanaka is a private line 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 rather than a tattoo policy (the inn’s information page and bath page)

Read on: andaikan.com/information

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.
