Cyashitsu Ryokan Asakusa - A Tattoo-Friendly Hot Spring in Taito, Tokyo
Does Cyashitsu Ryokan Asakusa Allow Tattoos?
Partially, tattoos are accepted at Cyashitsu Ryokan Asakusa, but only in private bathsโnot public bath areas.
Overview of Cyashitsu Ryokan Asakusa
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.
โ
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.

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.
โ
For tattooed travelers, these private baths offer something precious in Japanโfreedom 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.
