Ibaraki · Hitachinaka
Hitachinaka Onsen Kirari Bettei
A day spa in Hitachinaka, Ibaraki, with a free-flowing natural hot spring source bath. Pre-school children are not admitted. Its official price page firmly refuses entry to guests with tattoos, including tattoo stickers.
Ibaraki · Ryugasaki
Natural Hot Spring Yubune Ryugasaki
A day-use hot spring inside the Tatsunoko-machi Ryugasaki mall in southern Ibaraki, with a strong salt spring. Its official FAQ says people with tattoos generally cannot bathe, but may if the tattoos are fully hidden by up to two cover stickers sold at the facility. The facility introduced this rule in April 2023 as a trial that may be stopped, and its price page still says people with tattoos cannot enter while pointing to that notice, so check before you go.
