Tattoos are OK. People with real traditional tattoos come too, no big deal. I find young people's and foreigners' manners more of a problem than tattoos.
It's in my neighborhood, so I go often. Because of where it is, there are sometimes tourists, and it's OK as is without covering up. I recommend the fresh juice after your bath.
The place is clean and stylish, the service is the best, and this historic sento, which had a sansuke (bath attendant) right up to the end, was loved by all kinds of customers. Even if you go in short sleeves, the staff and the regulars are kind.
I went on a Saturday between 18:00 and 19:00, and there were lots of kids. There was nothing saying no tattoos, but I tried in my own way to be considerate and not let the kids see. I was drenched in sweat, so I was happy to freshen up before heading home.
The owner's son, or maybe the new owner, seems to have tattoos too, so they're really understanding!
You can totally get in!
A really nice sento!
Looks like it was renovated in 2015. It's really clean!
