I want to go on a trip to Kagoshima! Are there any recommended lodgings where I can take a sand bath?

Question

We are married couple in our 30s. We will be staying in Kagoshima for 2 nights and 3 days in early February. Please let me know if there are any inns that have sand baths or are close to sand bath spots. If there are any Breathtaking view view, such as a view of Sakurajima, I would like to try them.

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.

After experiencing the sand bath, there is hot spring on the top floor of the hotel where you can wash off the sand. The view is outstanding. You can also enjoy a Hawaiian show at night and, depending on the season, digging potatoes in the garden (dig a box full for 1,000 yen!). There is also a bowling alley, so family can have fun even if the weather is bad.

Although you can't see Sakurajima, you can see Breathtaking view of the ocean from the rooms and baths. The food was made with plenty of Kagoshima ingredients, and the taste and presentation were very ingenious and delicious. The sand bath cannot be enjoyed in the hotel, so they will take you to a place where you can experience it for free.

This is a famous Ryokan (Japanese inn) in Ibusuki. The prices are a little high, but the service, rooms, food, and facilities make it well worth the price. The sand bath can be accessed directly from the large public bath and is indoors with a roof, so it's convenient even on bad weather days. It's clean and well-equipped, so even first-time visitors can feel free to use it.

The hotel has a sand bath, so after the sand bath, you can take off your yukata and take a shower without going outside, so you don't have to worry about the cold in winter. The accommodation fee is reasonable, and the breakfast is Buffet and the dinner is a banquet, and both were delicious.

The location offers a view of Kinko Bay and Sakurajima from the window. You can also enjoy a Bijin-no-yu (a hot spring of beauty) open-air bath at Bijin-no-Yu. There is also a shuttle bus to the Sand Steam Hall, where you can experience a sand bath, which is convenient as it takes about 15 minutes. For meals, you can enjoy kaiseki（a traditional Japanese multiple course meal ）made with fresh fish caught in Kinko Bay and seasonal ingredients from Kagoshima, as well as Kagoshima black pork Shabu Shabu（Japanese hotpot）.
