About Shinmeikan

Shinmeikan, written 旅館 新明館 in Japanese, is a ryokan in Kurokawa, in the Kurokawa area. Below we've pulled together what its own website says about private bathing: in-room baths, private family baths, the water and the tattoo rules.

There are private (kashikiri) baths that one group at a time can lock and use, and the website lists a charge (¥1500). Slots are booked, so ask for a time at check-in. We found no mention of rooms with their own open-air bath, so the private bath is the way to bathe alone here.

The website doesn't state a tattoo policy. If that matters to you, email the property before booking.

Anything marked 'not confirmed' below, such as in-room baths, the water source and tattoo rules for private baths, wasn't stated on the pages we checked. That doesn't mean the answer is no, only that we haven't assumed one. We checked the official website on 17 October 2026. Rules and fees change, so confirm with the property, and use the buttons above to compare the same room across booking sites, including taxes and cancellation terms.
