Inamuragasaki Onsen

Kanagawa · 稲村ヶ崎温泉

Inamuragasaki Onsen is a hot spring town in Kanagawa, Japan. The water leaves the ground at 18°C, cool enough that the baths here are usually reheated. It measures pH 8.7 — mildly alkaline, the slippery kind. Officially the water is classed as bicarbonate spring.

With tattoos

Many public baths still turn away visible tattoos, and the rule is set by each bath, not by the town. The reliable way round it is to bathe privately: a room with its own open-air bath, or an inn with a private bath you can book for yourselves.
