Partially, tattoos are accepted at Cyashitsu Ryokan Asakusa, but only in private baths—not public bath areas.
Nestled in Tokyo's historic Asakusa district, Cyashitsu Ryokan Asakusa offers a serene escape that beautifully blends the tranquility of traditional tea ceremony with contemporary urban comfort. This boutique ryokan stands out for its rooftop open-air baths that frame stunning views of Tokyo Skytree while providing the privacy that tattooed travelers often seek in Japan's onsen culture.
Unlike many accommodations in Tokyo, Cyashitsu embraces the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi (finding beauty in imperfection) through its minimalist tea-room-inspired design, creating a pocket of calm just moments away from iconic landmarks like Senso-ji Temple. Here, you can experience authentic Japanese hospitality without leaving the city center.
Private Bathing Allowed: While tattoos must be covered in public areas, Cyashitsu welcomes tattooed guests to enjoy their private rooftop cypress baths without restriction during your reserved time slot—making it an excellent option for tattooed travelers seeking a traditional bathing experience in Tokyo.
- Urban Tranquility: Experience a private onsen with Tokyo Skytree views just minutes from bustling Asakusa streets
- Tea Ceremony-Inspired Design: Rooms feature contemporary art alongside traditional tea room aesthetics for a uniquely Japanese atmosphere
- Tattoo-Friendly Private Baths: Enjoy the 45-minute complimentary private bath sessions without worrying about tattoo restrictions
- Cultural Immersion: Sleep on premium tempur-pedic futons, wear provided yukata, and experience authentic Japanese hospitality
- Strategic Location: Just a 5-minute walk from Senso-ji Temple and easily accessible from major Tokyo transit hubs

Bathing Experience & Onsen Etiquette
Imagine sinking into the warm embrace of a cypress wood bath as the iconic Tokyo Skytree illuminates against the night sky. Though not fed by natural hot springs (rare in central Tokyo), Cyashitsu's rooftop open-air baths create an equally memorable experience through thoughtful design and ambiance. The aromatic cedar wood surrounds you as you soak, creating a multi-sensory retreat from urban exploration.
For tattooed travelers, these private baths offer something precious in Japan—freedom to enjoy traditional bathing culture without concerns about policies or uncomfortable glances. Select rooms even feature in-room outdoor baths surrounded by miniature gardens, allowing you to enjoy the ritual of Japanese bathing in complete privacy any time you wish.
