OK in a private bath (overnight)

Can you bathe here with a tattoo?

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

Staying overnight

Yes, if you take a private bath

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.

The definitive 'bathe while looking at Mt Fuji' ryokan: an open-air bath named after the mountain, three stepped pools deep enough to kneel in, with an unbroken view down to Fuji's skirts. A 20,000-tsubo garden and a taiko show round out a full ryokan stay. Tattoos are refused from the baths and the private bath is currently suspended.

The baths

Open-air bath

MT FUJI VIEW, and the strongest one in this dataset: the open-air bath is literally named 'Rotenburo Fujisan' and is built as three stepped pools with nothing blocking the view, the water 90 cm deep so you soak kneeling, and the top pool a lying bath facing the mountain. It has no washing area - you wash first in the Akafuji bathhouse. Morning and evening slots swap between men and women by month.

Overnight guests only

Indoor bath

'Daiyokujo Akafuji', a large indoor bathhouse and open-air bath also looking at Mt Fuji, with lying, bubble and jet baths. Highly alkaline water.

Overnight guests only

Private (kashikiri) bath

A private bath with a small-garden open-air tub and an indoor tub, 3,300 yen for 60 minutes - but the hotel states it is SUSPENDED for the time being, so do not count on it.

Overnight guests only

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.
