We had a pleasant stay overall. The hotel was clean, well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our visit.
However, we were very disappointed to learn upon arrival that the onsen facilities can only be used by guests without tattoos. This restriction was not clearly disclosed during the booking process. One of the main reasons we chose this hotel was to enjoy the onsen, so finding out that we could not use the facilities after arriving was frustrating and significantly impacted our experience.
We understand that tattoo policies may be common in some places, but this information should be clearly communicated before guests make a reservation so they can make an informed decision. Had we known in advance, we may have chosen different accommodations.
