  • An Edo-Period Hot Spring Theme Park with a Sand Bath!

  • There are countless places around the world to enjoy a hot spring, but very few where you can experience a sand bath! The hot spring at Ibusuki Hakusuikan is amazing. Not only does it have a bathhouse that recreates an Edo-period atmosphere, but there are also open-air baths and a stone sauna. Best of all, you can also try a sand bath right inside the hotel! You wear a yukata (a light cotton kimono) and get buried in warm sand, so it's a great option for people who might be shy about bathing naked. I highly recommend trying it at least once. The hotel grounds also feature the Satsuma Denshokan museum, which has been awarded a star in the Michelin Green Guide. It's truly fascinating! You can see incredible works of art and craftsmanship from Kagoshima and across Japan, all from the owner's personal collection.

  • A hotel recommended for guests from overseas

  • 私が泊まって衝撃を受けたのは指宿白水館です。指宿の温泉といえば有名なのは砂蒸し風呂ですが、海岸にある砂むし会館に行くのが一般的ですが、白水館の館内で砂蒸し風呂ができるんです!砂蒸し風呂は浴衣を着て砂の中に入るので裸になりません!大浴場は江戸時代をテーマにした内装で、温泉に入ることに抵抗がなければぜひとも入ってほしい!とても大きなホテルで、4つの棟があり、「Rikyu」は102㎡の広さで「和風のスイートルーム」といった感じ。私が泊まったのは一番安いSatsuma Kyakudenでしたがそれでも畳の部屋とツインベッドルームがあり、広かったです!交通アクセスは、指宿駅からタクシーで7分です。

  • A stylish and relaxed hotel.

  • There is a pool with a tropical atmosphere that reminds you of the south. The wooden deck and jacuzzi are sure to be instagrammable. The atmosphere of the cafe space was also nice. The Genroku bath, which reproduces the history of the Edo period, is quite spacious. You can also use the sand bath in the building. The room was spacious and had a nice view.

  • A Fantastic Hotel with a Sand Bath Experience!

  • The famous Ibusuki sand bath is a unique experience you won't find just anywhere—it's so warm and comfortable that you'll find yourself dozing off! It has an incredible detox effect. While the open-air bath with its amazing view is great, the "Genroku-buro" bath was also fantastic; it's very spacious and has a really interesting design. For dinner, you get to choose between Japanese and Italian food. We opted to dine in our room, which was perfect for enjoying a slow, relaxing meal.

  • Ibusuki Hakusuikan is popular for its sand bath hot hot spring experience

  • If you're looking for a place to stay in Ibusuki Onsen where you can experience sand hot spring, and which is popular among couples, we recommend Sand hot spring Ibusuki Hakusuikan. The inn is located on the seafront and is about a 7-minute drive from JR Ibusuki Station, but there is a free shuttle bus so you don't have to worry about getting there. It is a Japanese-style inn with a vast site of 167,000 square meters overlooking Kinko Bay. You can enjoy a variety of hot hot spring, including bubble springs and waterfall baths. The sand baths at this inn contain a lot of metasilicic acid, which is said to be a natural moisturizing ingredient, and are highly effective at beautifying the skin. The Japanese kaiseki meal uses seasonal local ingredients, and the menu changes every month.

  • Along with a sand bath.

  • If you are going on a trip to Kagoshima with your daughter, why not extend your trip to Ibusuki Onsen? The recommended inn is "Ibusuki Hakusuikan". This hotel has a natural sand bath, which is rare in the world. The only drawback is that it is sometimes affected by the weather. They also hold free tastings and sales of shochu.

  • Experience a variety of hot springs in Ibusuki

  • There is a sand bath in the facility, so it is convenient. It is a high-class Ryokan (Japanese inn) with an ocean view, and the facility is very spacious. The bath is large and recommended. There is a shochu dojo where you can enjoy shochu, and there are many shochus available in the shop, so why not buy some as souvenirs?

  • I think the satisfaction rate is 100%.

  • When it comes to sand baths, Ibusuki Onsen in the southern part of the Satsuma Peninsula is the most famous. There are many Ryokan (Japanese inn) and hotels scattered around Ibusuki Onsen, but I think Hakusuikan is in a class of its own among them. It is located at the foot of Mt. Uomi, overlooking Kinko Bay, and there is also an art museum on the premises. What makes it stand out above all else is the many elaborately designed baths, and the delicious food is sure to satisfy you.

  • There is a lot to enjoy around the inn

  • 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 have the time and transportation, I recommend the sand Sunamushi Onsen (Steam Sand Bath) at Yamakawa Fushimi Beach, which is a truly natural hot spring that has been around for a long time. 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.

  • You can compare different kinds of shochu in a sand bath

  • This hotel is located in Ibusuki, Kagoshima. I love hot springs and occasionally go to inns with hot springs, but my first experience with a sand bath was amazing. In addition to the sand bath, the hot spring facilities are also substantial, and you can also compare famous Kagoshima shochu, which is a unique pleasure.

  • open-air bath is also an attractive feature of this inn.

  • I recommend Ibusuki Hakusuikan. It is about 2km from Nigatsuda Station on the Ibusuki Makurazaki Line. It is a 7-minute taxi ride from the station. It is a Japanese-style Ryokan (Japanese inn) with a natural sand bath. Due to its location, you cannot see Sakurajima, but if it is clear, you can see the starry sky from the open-air bath.
