About
Ibusuki Sand Bath is one of Japan's most famous hot spring resorts, located in Ibusuki City, Kagoshima Prefecture. Its unique bathing method involves burying oneself in hot sand on the beach, a one-of-a-kind experience you won't find anywhere else in the world. 【Why Ibusuki Sand Bath is popular】 ・Excellent health benefits: Burying yourself in hot sand containing mineral-rich hot spring water promotes blood circulation, relaxes muscles, and boosts metabolism. Additionally, the minerals in the sand are absorbed through the skin, leading to beautiful skin. ・Unique experience: The unique experience of being buried in sand rather than soaking in water helps you relax and unwind from your daily routine. ・Stunning views: Some sand bath facilities offer the opportunity to enjoy sand bathing right by the beach, where you can relax to the sound of the waves and take in the beautiful scenery.
