Tattoo-friendly onsen in the Japanese Alps and Hokuriku
Tattoos welcome in the shared baths, or a hot spring of your own.
8 places in the Japanese Alps and Hokuriku where tattoos are no trouble: either the shared baths welcome them, or every room has its own hot-spring bath, so you need not use the shared ones. Among them are The Hiramatsu Karuizawa Miyota, Araya Totoan and Beniya Mukayu.
