My mother made me speak with a travel agent today to get ideas for Japan, and the travel agent suggested doing a tour. Now I’m considering doing one, but I can’t go in the onsens with tattoos and would want a private one. I might contact the tour company and ask. I think a few days alone and then a tour could be good.
I wouldn’t take a tour. I’d probably do one of the walking pilgrimages or bicycle touring on a cheap local bike. Japan is pretty cheap and I’d be keen to try the sleep pods and net cafe accommodation. Then see as many botanical gardens as possible.

Why can’t you go in an onsen with tattoos?
Because they’ve been historically associated with organised crime, a lot of places won’t let you go in.

Tattoo friendly.
Yes I’ve heard of Kinosaki! If I don’t go on a tour, or just end up going there, I will check out the onsens :)

I love botanical gardens! Would be cool in winter too
They’re always cool.
