Tattoo-friendly onsen in Kyushu

Tattoos welcome in the shared baths, or a hot spring of your own.

12 places in Kyushu 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 Enowa Yufuin, Kamenoi Bessou and Onyado Chikurintei.
