About Suimeikan
Suimeikan (水明館) is a ryokan in Gero, about 0.1 km in a straight line from Gero Station. This page sums up what its official website says about private bathing, so you can see at a glance whether it suits a couple, a family or a guest with tattoos.
There are 2 private (kashikiri) baths that one group at a time can lock and use, and the website lists a charge (¥3,300). The website doesn't explain how slots work, so ask 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 property describes its water as free-flowing (源泉かけ流し), fed from the source rather than recirculated, although it also notes that some baths are heated. Tattoos aren't allowed in the shared baths, according to the website. It doesn't say whether the private baths are an exception, so ask before you book. Some plans include dinner served in your room.
Anything marked 'not confirmed' below, such as in-room baths 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.
