This news article about tattoos and onsen in Japan got me wondering about the situation here in Kumamoto. I searched in both English and Japanese and the best information I was able to find about where people with tattoos can enjoy a nice soak was on the following English page:

If there are other tattoo-friendly spots in Kumamoto that you’d like to recommend, please write a note about them in the comments.
