Can I enter even if I have a tattoo?
More direct than a general check — useful when you already know you have visible ink. Many public onsen still ban tattoos due to their old association with the yakuza, though this is slowly changing, especially in tourist areas.

Do you have stickers to cover tattoos?

貸切風呂はありますか？
Kashikiri-buro wa arimasu ka?

貸切風呂 (kashikiri-buro) = a private/reservable bath, often booked by the hour — the easiest workaround if a facility doesn't allow visible tattoos in the shared baths.

How many people can use the private bath?
Private baths (貸切風呂/家族風呂) are often capped at 2–4 people and booked in time slots — ask at check-in.
