申し訳ございません。当館ではタトゥーのあるお客様のご入浴はご遠慮いただいております。

もうしわけございません。とうかんではタトゥーのあるおきゃくさまのごにゅうよくはごえんりょいただいております。

We apologize, but guests with tattoos are kindly asked to refrain from using our baths.

Gesture & etiquette

Slight bow when asking. Point subtly to where the tattoo is, if appropriate, when staff approaches.

Tattoos are often prohibited in public baths and onsen in Japan, even small ones, due to historical associations. Always ask first. Do not enter if explicitly prohibited, as it is considered a serious breach of rules.
