Read the original rule

At the three baths (Otakinoyu, Gozanoyu and Sainokawara Rotenburo), we do not refuse entry or bathing to people with tattoos (irezumi). We welcome diverse cultural backgrounds, including international visitors, and hope everyone enjoys Kusatsu Onsen while following bathing etiquette.

三湯(大滝乃湯、御座之湯、西の河原露天風呂)では、刺青(タトゥー)のある方の入館、入浴を特にお断りはしておりません。訪日外国人旅行者も含めまして、多種多様な文化的背景を受け入れると共に、どなたでもマナー遵守の上で草津温泉を楽しんでいただきたいと思っております。

Getting tattooed on this trip?

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 Japan within 48 hours. English is fine.

¥15,000 deposit, fully refunded if we can't match you.
