Nishimuraya Hotel Shogetsutei
城崎温泉 西村屋ホテル招月庭 · Kinosaki Onsen
Can you bathe here with a tattoo?
This is the question we built the site around, so we answer it per situation.
Staying overnight
The tattoo policy is not stated publicly. A private or in-room bath is available, which is often an option for tattooed guests.
How it scores
Every onsen on this site is scored on the same five things.
The baths
Indoor bath
Large in-house bathhouse 'Gekka-no-yu' with mist sauna and jet bath.
Open-air bath
Open-air bath attached to Gekka-no-yu.
Private (kashikiri) bath
Private open-air bath / 'Forest Private Spa': 8,800 yen per room for 70 minutes (up to 4 people; +1,100 yen per extra person to a maximum of 6). Reservation required and RESERVATIONS ARE FOR STAYING GUESTS ONLY. This is the most likely route for a tattooed guest here, but the ryokan has not published a tattoo policy, so it is not confirmed as an exception.
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.
