2 hot springs
Gifu · Ogaki
Natural Hot Spring Ogaki Korona no Yu
A natural hot spring with a large outdoor bath in Ogaki Korona World, Gifu Prefecture. The official price page says people with tattoos, including tattoo stickers, may not use the baths ("刺青、タトゥー、タトゥーシールのある方はご利用できません"). The site gives no formal spring-quality name, so it is left blank.
Gifu · Tajimi
Tenko no Yu
A day-use hot spring on a hill in Tajimi, the pottery town, using natural radon spring water (some baths free-flowing, others recirculated; no water added, per the official FAQ), with a garden outdoor bath and an outdoor sauna. The official FAQ refuses bathing to anyone with tattoos or tattoo stickers, whatever the size. The site gives no formal spring-quality name, so it is left blank.
