Can you bathe here with a tattoo?

This is the question we built the site around, so we answer it per situation.

Visiting for the day

No — tattooed guests are turned away

Guests with tattoos are refused entry to the facility, so private baths are not an option either.

A polished hotel in Hakodate's Yunokawa district where the large bath is laid out as an 'onsen living room', with several differently designed tubs, saunas and a lounge to sit in afterwards. Unusually for Hokkaido you can arrive by tram from JR Hakodate Station in about 30 minutes, but the setting is city rather than nature.
