Go Native 70 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Originally Posted By: MitchPee Back on topic... How do people view tattoos in public onsen settings?

The onsen I regularly frequent near Kutchan is often visited by members of the local Yakuza who are covered all over, so my one tattoo on my shoulder never causes anyone to blink. Been to most of the onsens in this region often with people who have quite a few tattoos and never a problem. Link to post Share on other sites
