Shoraiso
松籟荘
Does Shoraiso allow tattoos? In a private bath
Rebuilt in 2024 after the 1939 wooden inn burned, Shoraiso takes five parties a night, and each of its five rooms has an open-air bath on a garden of its own.
Shoraiso publishes no tattoo rule of its own. All five of its rooms have a private open-air bath on the inn’s own free-flowing source, so there is no need to use a shared bath. Its guests are sent across the road to Yorozuya’s large baths, where Yorozuya’s rule applies: a palm-sized tattoo under a sticker, nothing larger.

What happens when you arrive
