Tattoo-friendly onsen in Beppu

No.4 in Japan's "Top 100 Onsen" ranking (Nippon no Onsen 100-sen, 39th edition)

Beppu in Oita has more hot-spring sources and more flowing water than anywhere else in Japan, spread across eight onsen areas known as Beppu Hattō. Its old neighbourhood bathhouses cost a few hundred yen, and many of them never had a tattoo rule.
