βHi guys, I am off to Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto at the start of september. Itβs our 10 year anniversery. I am starting to stress about trying to cover up all my tattoos everywhere I go. Is it still that bad or is it more relaxed now? I have sleeves and neck done so a bit hard to hide. (FYI dont care so much for onsen) thank you for any feedback.β
Japan is not a tattoo-friendly country, but you donβt need to hide your tattoos unless youβre going to hot springs or swimming pools.
