Luck You Kyoto

Tattoo access: The ryokan's official English FAQ explicitly states that guests with tattoos can use the adjacent Goko-yu sento (Q21: 'Yes, you can'). Goko-yu is a fully tattoo-friendly public sento independently verified by multiple sources — no cover-up required. Complimentary entry vouchers are provided to guests daily. Private bath: Every room has a private in-room bathroom with bath and bidet. Sento access: Goko-yu is a communal public sento (not a private kashikiri bath) featuring multiple bath types, twin saunas, and a cold plunge. A separate hot stone spa (岩盤浴) is available at extra charge.

Goko-yu is a communal public sento, not a private kashikiri bath — bathing is shared with other sento visitors. The hot stone spa (岩盤浴) at Goko-yu is a separate paid area; confirm tattoo policy for that specific area directly with Goko-yu if needed. The property was reportedly planning expansion works as of December 2025 — confirm current availability when booking.
