Yutorelo Echigo-Yuzawa

ゆとりろ越後湯沢

Does Yutorelo Echigo-Yuzawa allow tattoos? Yes, covered

Cover seal required

A Relo group hotel opened in late 2025 on its own pH 9.0 spring, where the cover seal is a 250-yen item at the desk rather than something you have to track down before the trip.

Yutorelo belongs to Relo Hotels & Resorts, whose own FAQ sets the rule for its hotels: a tattoo that two of the group’s cover seals can hide may go into the bath, the sauna and the open-air bath. The seals are 10 by 15 cm and cost 250 yen each at the front desk. Refuse the seal and you may be refused the bath. The hotel also has two private onsen baths for staying guests.
