What do they mean by visible tattoos? From what I understand, you have to be naked so any tattoo is pretty much visible then. They only "not visible" tattoo I can think of are if you have one inside your mouth? I'm just being picky, I think it's just a clumsy way of saying no tattoos.Note: if you have visible tattoos, you should not use an onsen. This is a pretty strict etiquette, so don’t try it on or you are likely to create offence.
I've known any number of people with tattoos inside their lips (both kinds of lips), ass-cracks, behind the ear, you name it. Tattoos have a criminal history in Japan and considering the place is basically a showcase for tradition, onsen can be the site of culture-clash.
