Hello all,
First off, I just want to give my thanks for all the extremely useful info on this site. Amazing!!
Me and a friend are heading to Tokyo at the end of the month (I've lived in Japan for the last 10 years and speak Japanese, mate is coming over from The a States and doesn't speak a word), and we want to try out a Soapland for the first time. Thanks to all your great reviews, I know the foreigner friendly Soaplands available and I am thinking of going the 130min deal at Naniwa, or perhaps Darling Harbour.
The only thing I'm not sure about is if it's ok to go to one of these venues with a tattoo. I did read somewhere here that the soaplands do have no tattoo signs, but I'm wondering if this is strictly enforced for foreigners? I have a smallish tattoo on the back of my arm, which I can tape over if needed. Have any of you soaplanded with a tattoo? Any ideas? Better to tape, or no need to worry?
Thanks again
