Tattoo-friendly onsen directory · Japan

Every onsen that welcomes tattoos. Verified, not rumored.

We read each inn's own pages and quote the rule word for word. Each listing shows the rule, the conditions, the source, and the date we checked it. Where an inn has written nothing, we say so.

How every listing is checked

Our method in full →
01
We read the official rule

FAQ pages, bath pages and the chatbot answers most inns hide their policy in. The original Japanese is kept, word for word.

02
We do not guess

Most inns write nothing about tattoos. Those are marked Unconfirmed, which is not a no. When an inn answers us directly, its answer is added with the date it was given.

03
You see the proof

Every status carries its source, the date, and an expiry. Policies change; when a check has expired, the listing says so.
