Getting tattooed in Hokkaido?
A fresh tattoo has to stay out of hot water for about two weeks. Book your onsen days first, your session last. Tell us your dates and idea, and we match you with an artist in Hokkaido within 48 hours. English is fine.
¥15,000 deposit, fully refunded if we can't match you.

Can I go to an onsen or spa with tattoos in Hokkaido?
It depends on the place. Of the 21 onsen and spa complexes we checked, 1 allow tattoos as they are, 3 allow them with conditions, and 11 don't.
How did you check these rules?
We read each place's official website and quoted the tattoo rule as written, with a link and the date. If the site says nothing, we mark it "Not stated" instead of guessing. Rules change, so check with the place before you go.
