Can you bathe here with a tattoo?
This is the question we built the site around, so we answer it per situation.
Staying overnight
Tattoos are not allowed in the shared baths. A private or in-room bath is available, which usually means you can still bathe — but this has not been confirmed with the facility.
Not confirmed by the facility. We worked this out from the bath layout, so please check before you go.

How it scores
Every onsen on this site is scored on the same five things.
The baths
In-room bath
ALL 23 rooms have a private open-air bath fed by the ryokan's own free-flowing (kakenagashi) weakly alkaline simple spring.
Open-air bath
Open-air bathing area on 1F of the main building with an indoor bath, outdoor bath and dry sauna. Hours 15:00-24:00 and 6:00-11:00. The official site does not state whether non-staying guests may use it.
A private bath means nobody else is in the water with you — often the practical answer if the shared baths are closed to tattooed guests.
