Most bathhouses in Japan restrict guests with tattoos, but not all of them do. This collection gathers two kinds of places: (1) facilities that do not refuse entry solely because of tattoos, and (2) facilities that permit bathing when tattoos are fully covered with designated cover stickers. Neither implies an active welcome or endorsement, and the exact conditions differ from place to place. Policies can also change without notice, so please confirm directly with the facility before your visit. Ryokan, onsen hotels and day-use baths are all included.
