Where are the best places for couples to stay in Ibusuki Onsen to experience a sand bath?
My partner and I are planning a trip to Ibusuki Onsen in Kagoshima Prefecture. Since we'll be making the trip, we would love to experience one of the famous sand baths. Could anyone please recommend an inn or hotel that has its own sand bath facilities on-site, or one that is located very close to a place where we can try one? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

- 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.コリドラス's answer (Posted on:2020/2/19)

You can enjoy both a sand bath and a hot water bath.
- Here you can fully enjoy the sand bath, a specialty of Ibusuki Onsen. There is also a bathhouse that recreates a large bathhouse from the Genroku period of the Edo period in Japan. The bathhouse is as large as a pool, so you can enjoy bathing in a spacious space.spring's answer (Posted on:2022/12/ 3)

The sand on my stomach is a bit heavy.
- I stayed here for one night on a company recreational trip in 1994. It was a tight schedule of a two-day, one-night trip across southern Kyushu. When we arrived at the hotel by tour bus, it was already dark, but if you go before dusk, you can see the beautiful tropical sea. After the president and everyone else had a Japanese kaiseki meal in the large hall, I accompanied a senior employee and experienced the sand bath in the hotel. The three of us lay side by side on an iron construction shovel, and the hotel staff poured warm sand over us from above. Compared to the sauna, this one feels like you gradually get warmer. We also soaked in the large bath overlooking the night sea, and felt like our bodies were lighter. The miso soup with fish bone broth was especially delicious for dinner.eibis's answer (Posted on:2019/7/22)

A popular place for couples and families
- This is a holiday village, so it's clean, reasonably priced and easy to use. The indoor bath in the large natural hot spring bath has a tatami floor, so it feels very nice on the feet. open-air bath has a high fence so it's a little hard to see the view, but the breeze was pleasant and refreshing. This sand bath does not require a reservation, so you can make a reservation on the day.
