Many visitors to Japan enjoy the beaches and famous natural hot springs but in Japanese culture, tattoos are historically associated with organised crime. Although attitudes are changing, some facilities restrict access to people with tattoos – hear it from Yuriko Kotani, a UK-based Japanese comedian, herself. Please check with local guides to check access requirements.
