Ibusuki Iwasaki Hotel is a great place to enjoy the hot springs and the ocean view.

It's especially good to take a bath while watching the sunrise. The food is also pretty good, so it's a hotel the whole family can enjoy.

They were very kind, picking me up when I arrived at the station and even taking me to and from soto-yu (public bathhouses). The building is old, but clean, so I was able to stay there with peace of mind.

I'm a local. This inn has a sand bath, free shochu tasting, and a Genroku bath, which are fun for both adults and children.

If you go a little further, you can also visit Japan's only tourist seahorse farm, the Seahorse House, and Kamafuta Shrine, which are also interesting.
