The site is now fully English-language compatible: The entire site can be switched to English, and users can now register their facility information in English in advance.

■Background and Purpose

You are refused to use a hot spring or hotel because of a tattoo--.

Have you ever been refused to use a hot spring or hotel because of your tattoo?

Have you ever had such an experience?

Many people are looking for information on social networking sites to find out where to go to get tattoos.

Many foreign tourists often book a hotel without knowing that tattoos are not allowed in Japan, and are saddened when they are not allowed to use the hot spring baths.

Tattoo Japan" is a user-participation platform that allows users to post and search for facilities where tattoos are allowed or not.

This service does not aim to change the prejudice or system of Japanese society, but to share OK places with other tattooed people and expand the options for a safe and comfortable life.

■Service Details

Types of facilities listed: Onsen (hot springs), sento (public bathhouses), hotels, swimming pools, gyms, beaches, tattoo studios

English support ：English UI is provided in consideration of tourists visiting Japan

Listing fees: Free (paid listing and advertising space is under consideration for the future)

We are also consciously incorporating a mechanism to prevent "unknowingly visiting a facility and getting into trouble" by allowing the posting of facilities that are not part of the "NG" listings.

Timing of Official Opening

With the Osaka Expo scheduled to be held in 2025, inbound demand is expected to increase.

Thoughts

We launched this service after hearing many comments such as "I couldn't go because of my tattoo" or "I don't know what to look up in the first place". We do not deny the prejudice or the system, but we would like to visualize "a place where you can feel safe" in the reality that we have now.

We hope that this service will be of some help to those who love tattoos.

We are not just trying to make the world a better place for tattoo lovers to live in,

We want to make the world a better place for tattoo lovers to spend their time.

We are managing and developing this site with this idea in mind.
