Me and my wife will be in Japan in late July. We both have tattoos (arms and back). Are there any onsens that allow tattoos inside? We'll be staying in Shinjuku for 4 days. Any feedback is appreciated!

Hi Jay, I hope you and your wife have a lot of fun in Japan. I found a similar question to your here: https://planetyze.com/en/japan/forum/japan/onsens-in-tokyo-that-allow-tattoos
maybe this will help:
Jakotsu-yu is not a real onsen, but it is a public bathhouse that uses onsen water in Asakusa. It allows people with tattoos, so it's popular with foreign tourists visiting the area. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g1066461-d1197818-Reviews-Jyakotsuyu-Taito_Tokyo_Tokyo_Prefecture_Kanto.html
There’s also an Onsen facility in Narita (Yamato-no yu) but not near the airport, which allows people with tattoos. http://www.yamatonoyu.com/eng/index.asp
Enjoy your trip! :-)
