APA Hotel & Resort Midosuji Hommachi Ekimae Tower

Connected to Hommachi Station, Cover Stickers for Tattoo Guests

Hommachi / Midosuji, Osaka

A large resort hotel directly connected to Hommachi Station, with communal indoor and open-air baths. Tattoo cover stickers are available at reception, allowing guests with small tattoos to use the baths.

Condition details

Tattoo policy: Tattooed guests are not permitted in the public bath unless tattoos can be fully covered with stickers. Cover stickers are provided at the reception desk — confirmed by a guest review and the APA Resort chain's standard policy. This option is only practical for guests with small tattoos that can be completely covered. Guests with large, multiple, or full-sleeve tattoos will not be able to use the public baths. Note: This Resort Tower has the sticker option; the adjacent standard APA Hotel Midosuji Hommachi Ekimae (different building) does not — confirm you are booking the Resort Tower. Bath facilities: Large communal indoor bath + open-air bath in B1F, free for overnight guests. Seasonal outdoor pool (summer only).

Good to know

The tattoo cover sticker is only suitable for small tattoos that can be fully covered. Guests with large tattoos, full sleeves, or multiple visible tattoos will not be able to use the communal public bath. The sticker size provided at this property is not officially listed — confirm at check-in. The outdoor pool's tattoo policy has not been confirmed — ask at reception before using the pool with tattoos. Important: There is a different, stricter APA Hotel (Midosuji Hommachi Ekimae, without 'Tower' or 'Resort') nearby that does NOT allow any sticker option — confirm you are booking the Resort Tower (directly connected to Hommachi Station Exit 18).
