Questions
What is a private onsen?
A bath reserved for one person or one group at a time, called kashikiri-buro or family bath in Japan. The 271 onsen here offer one to day visitors, so you do not need to stay the night.
Where are most private onsen for day use?
Oita (47), Kanagawa (16), Hokkaido (15), Fukushima (13), Niigata (11), out of 271 listed across 40 prefectures.
Is a private bath the answer for tattoos?
Sometimes. 8 listed onsen allow tattoos only in the private bath, and 12 of the private-bath onsen accept tattoos in the shared baths too. Where the official site says nothing, ask when you book.
