so in this video
I'm gonna share with you guys what it's like get a tattoo friendly onsen hotel just about an hour away from Tokyo
So today we're hitting up Atami Onsen less than one hour away from Tokyo and about 40 minutes from Shinagawa station
Which makes it an ultra popular spot for locals to visit for the weekend to enjoy a relaxing
Ryokan onsen experience in front of Atami station is an onsen guide where many souvenir shops and restaurants are gathered
You'll find many seafood products and food specialties, like Onsen Manju so many unique Atami treats
So make sure to try them out when you're here. Oh, and Atami beaches within walking distance
So this area gets even more popular during the summer months compared to like now winter
but I'm good with quiet at least once in a while and this is where we're spending the weekend hotel Kan-Ichi that building is
A bit older but the inside is renovated. So it's fairly nice and clean
I chose this hotel because their public owns and baths are tattoo friendly and they also have private onsen baths that you can reserve
however
the hotel asked guests with tattoos to be
Respectful and try to use the bath during less busy hours if possible as some locals still get scared of tattoos
especially the older ones so I'm kind of excited to show you guys but before we start

So this is kind of like the main bedroom, but let me show you the second room
This is the second bedroom that I was talking about perfect for families or if you here with another couple
It's actually pretty spacious for Japanese standards
And that brings me back to where we started I guess the only thing left to do let's check out the onsen
Well not the only thing left to do because we have to also eat
You look like a ninja turtle
If you are in ninja turtle, which Ninja Turtle would you be oh what's available?
I think I'm more like oh
I feel just like the guy that he is he is the red guy the guy with his size
I was also thought of as Donatello cuz I thought I was a little bit smart, but
It's like we're on the rooftop do ya feel like we're like literally on the rooftop right now
It's how Michaels already got into the horns in bath
This is nice because we have it all car itself and just beyond er, you can actually see that motion
It's kind of too dark today
But if you come here during the day, then you can definitely see the ocean from here
You just kind of like perfect
It's kind of like a nice of couples retreat and get away from Tokyo and you just like have a private onsen back
Alright looks like the food is ready Michael's already at the table taking a few pictures, but

Now as Michael would like to say tonight seeds
I
Love how they have all of these little appetizers
We have some Evie
Some agudo some boonie even get some says I like that and you can pull this
And if you get it, right you get the whole entire
while the meat from the shell
Mmm, it has kind of like a bitter
Rubbery, I don't I kind of like a tough texture but also kind of chewy at the same time. Try this sashimi dip it in
Mmm, that's some fresh you mean you have this little like
Translucent layer of skin and there's like a thin lead piece of like daikon right there
Mm-hmm. It's nice and fluffy. I like that
And the dashi is nice too
Well, let me taste this Nico this and they've been cooking
So it might be a little bit overcooked you guys talking just a little bit too much just now
Let's see
You taste like the hat that was the marble inside of them meat itself, it is quite fatty
So I think Michael probably wouldn't like it so much, but I kind of like it
I like how she's separating the fish for us. So this is the key made I Wow
And as I go show you base
The soup itself is a little bit sweet
It's kind of made out of like to show you and they've added a little bit of sugar to it
You can taste that a mummy
Yeah, it's kind of like a nice sweet show you base awesome. And then the rice even comes with kombu. Oh
It smells really strong
This is like the equivalent to putting soy sauce in the rice
No, cuz he gives it flavor. So Japanese people don't put soy sauce on the rice, you know
You may or may not know that growing up in the States
I did that when I was a kid
But you know when I came to Japan it was like what are you doing putting soy sauce on your rice?
Definitely a no-no here in Japan. You're not supposed to color your white rice
Color, that's fine. It's Macumba. It's fine. But like when you're eating you don't like pour stuff on the rice
You just don't do it, but it's okay to here. Oh, it's gonna like hold me thing. So after that big-ass fish comes some more
Fish so this is Sawada
Almost like it's been barbecued we kind of
painted across with like a nice
Sweet glaze and after this dessert comes this is a lot of food for two people
The menu was completely different for dinner than next night
We had shabu shabu a huge sashimi boat and an assortment of Japanese style side dishes. It was delicious
so after dinners finish the lady comes up and cleans your room takes away all the plates and everything and then
Afterwards stop please set up the protons at which he's doing it right now. You can see behind me
That goes on her phone again
For you okay, you want to sleep on the left or the right? Right, right
I think I sleep on inside. Why because I'm gonna wake up and film. Oh,
Oh
Never get about the Japanese
You have these men shoes they never cover the top part why don't you think they ever put the top part they have for that
Reason it's easier to choose the style from
Isn't it feel dirty than on the top? I feel like I don't want to touch it ever
that's
Delicious
Nothing, like waking up in the morning and having breakfast prepared all for you, man
like honestly
this is what I call a Japanese at breakfast has this like all these little bits and pieces of
Zenzai, Japanese culture enriched infused and just I'm good to go this morning. I can look at this
This is called bunker done. It has some not though
It has some wasabi
mangu dough like a minced my little taco on and it even has some
Okuda right there and what you do is you take it you mix it up then all you have to do is get your rice
Get a scoop up done throw it in like that and that is what you call an explosion in your mouth Oh
So most real guns in itami offer hamona which is dried or semi dried fish for breakfast
but at this spot they let you choose which type of kimono
So just had the morning honson
Always good to hydrate afterwards and it's actually pretty decent really really clean. Not the biggest in the world, but still pretty clean
What was nice about it too was that if you do have kids and have like a baby crib there so you can see that
It's like it is geared to be that quite
Family-friendly think well, what my co tells me is that this particular owns and waters like meant to exfoliate your skin
So for those of you who are looking to ex foliate, this could be the perfect
Don't say once my cousin doing her makeup, then I'll take you guys around the tummy kind of show you around
Maybe some cold spots to eat
It's raining though outside. Yeah, I might just stay inside. Yeah, maybe long coats. I didn't show you guys around
So unfortunately it's raining today, so I guess we're just gonna hop in a taxicab let us borrow some umbrellas
What was rice bowl I wanted to go to this spot you don't know if it's that good but let's try
So we decided to go into a fish burger joint known for using fresh itami seafood and a tommy craft beer
It doesn't get more local than that
This I got the Jazz very sadistic craft beer they don't have a lot of it I know
It almost smells like wine
That's good, it's a very fruity raspberry
I could drink a whole lot of it almost tastes like a raspberry drink with like a can of beer
So this place is relatively new around this area, but I wanted to try a patient burger
I got the hot dog a
Megiddo which is like a tuna burger and the brown sauce is actually a sesame that has some sprouts on top
And I some lotus root tomatoes egg and then you have the tuna
Burger and you can actually get like a grilled tuna or I got that putt soggy
Which is kind of like it's like a breaded skin around it the tuna
Oh, that's good Wow, I got to take another flight
You can taste the tomatoes you can taste the egg you got the crunchiness of the tuna
Like it's really well done. The tuna itself is fresh and the egg is just a really really nice. That is a good burger
All right, since it's raining or not gonna go try any more food
But we are at the conbini and i'm gonna get some stuff to eat at home
So we've gone all over goods but as you can see it's raining quite a lot outside
So Michael just called at the taxi pretty much have to call the taxi, and we didn't actually know the number
but we asked the convenience to a lady if we can get the number from her and she gave it to us and
We'll be on her way and I can show you guys some treats
All right
all right, so
We got all the snacks from the combini
first of all while we're trying out all this stuff
Found some itami beers some pale ale and some Pilsner gonna try the pale ale
Huh, that's pretty good not the best beer I've had but not the worst
No, it's like I don't know if I like it or not maybe worth trying if you come here
We got actually a lot of different snacks, and I don't know
Which ones to try one thing that Michael found today was this?
strong potato chips ton ton mint flavor
Oh
Wow
Wow, it's really smells like Chinese herbs and essential like the spiciness. Let's try it
Mm-hmm. It's like your regular
Potato chip with ridges and it also has got Sun show like I'm not a 100% fan of Sun
So just by itself and tastes kind of like that by itself
If you like Sun show then this is kind of it. Like what do you think? I
Wish I was more like Ton Ton mint flavor as the buzzes like it's like the San Jose so overpowering
All right, we're checking out now
I hope you guys liked this video on a tattoo friendly content hotel
Just by Tokyo if you did then hit that like button
But remember there are a lot of ones at hotels in that tummy area if you have tattoos
then you don't want to go to a hotel that doesn't allow you to have a public bath or if that hotel has like the
Reserved doors and baths that that works as well. Otherwise, if you don't have a tattoo then you're good
You can go to any hotel. You want also the food here varies every day
so you get kind of like different options and different looks if you decide to stay longer like Michael and I did instead of just
staying one night
We actually stayed two nights and we can kind of enjoy it aside from that again
