Ibusuki Sand Bath Hot Spring

Ibusuki's sand bath hot spring is a rare bathing method found worldwide, where you submerge your entire body in sand warmed by naturally sourced hot spring water at the beach. When you lie on the sand wearing a yukata, the attendant covers your entire body with warm sand. The pleasant weight and warmth of the sand penetrates to the core of your body, promoting circulation and providing detox effects. After about 10-15 minutes of bathing, you'll profusely sweat from your entire body and feel refreshed and light. The sand bath experience while listening to the sound of the waves is a blissful moment that can only be experienced in Ibusuki.
