(20,776 posts)One of my dreams is to visit Japan and a Roten Buro, or Onsen. (Hot Spring bathing) Many of these resorts will never allow you in if you have Tattoos. The simple reason is, that those who tend to wear Tattoos are generally apart of the Yakuza, or Japanese Mafia. They are not welcome in many of these establishments because they scare away patrons, who would go often. Those found with Tattoos are often escorted off the premise...
It does not take much to have this happen to you. You could be bathing and have Rodger Rabbit tattooed on your shoulder and be asked to leave..abruptly. This includes piercings as well... All these items make the Japanese business community a tad nervous and I would rather much have a nice ...long...Hot ...soak than be abruptly removed and escorted to the parking lot.
