Field notes
The guide separates “not stated on official site” from permission and advises visitors to ask the facility; that distinction matters when a policy is simply absent. Its area breakdown gives a quick sense of variation: the page lists 10 of 12 Kinosaki facilities as allowing tattoos, while many entries in Ginzan and Noboribetsu have no rule stated on the official site. Each listing is presented with conditions, a source link, and a check date.
