Yes, Fuji-Hakone Guest House allows guests with tattoos without restrictions.
Nestled within the breathtaking volcanic landscape of Hakone National Park, Fuji-Hakone Guest House (富士箱根ゲストハウス) offers what many tattooed travelers seek but rarely find in Japan: a welcoming hot spring experience without judgment or restrictions. This family-run minshuku combines the authenticity of traditional Japanese hospitality with a refreshingly inclusive approach to body art.
The guest house's mineral-rich baths, sourced directly from the sulfurous waters of Owakudani Volcano, provide a genuine onsen experience at a fraction of the cost of luxury ryokans in the area.

Onsen Facilities & Amenities
Bathing Experience & Onsen Etiquette
The milky-white, sulfur-rich waters at Fuji-Hakone Guest House offer more than just a warm soak—they're a therapeutic journey into a centuries-old Japanese wellness tradition. Maintained at an ideal 42°C (107.6°F), these volcanic waters contain 18 different minerals that work in harmony to soothe muscle tension, improve circulation, and leave your skin noticeably softer and renewed.
Indoor baths provide 24-hour access for night owls and early risers alike, while the outdoor rotenburo elevates the experience with the sensory contrast of crisp mountain air against warm, mineral-laden waters. The distinct sulfuric aroma—initially surprising to newcomers—soon becomes part of the meditative experience, connecting you to the volcanic heartbeat of Hakone. Unlike at many traditional onsen, here you can display your tattoos proudly as you partake in this quintessential Japanese tradition.
