  Hot volcanic sand bath

  A nice resort in an onsen area noted for volcanic hot sand baths. The hotel has its own hot sand bath area where you are covered up to your neck. After soaking in the hot sand, you rinse off the remaining sand and jump into the onsen furo for a nice warm soaking. The owner(deceased) loved Hawaii, visited it many times and brought back many items made of the beautifully grained Hawaiian Koa wood. WI-FI in the lobby.

  Best in volcanic hot sand baths

  Number one in traditional volcanic hot sand baths and ryokan in Ibusuki, large compared to other hotels in Ibusuki, location is good, however not directly on the beach and little bit far away from the city centre.

  Sand bath at the hotel

  Anyone going to Ibusuki has to take a "sand bath". One of the reasons I chose this hotel was because it has its own indoor sand-bath facility and I was worried about cold and rainy winter weather in January at beach-side sand-bath facilities. Although I was disappointed to hear that the sand here was not naturally heated by natural hot-springs, you can certainly get a taste of a sand-bath experience. This hotel is also reasonably priced compared with other hotels in the area. The room was standard with a view of the ocean and offered me a beautiful sunrise at dawn. In addition, the dinner and breakfast included in the rate were quite good and I was satisfied with the hotel, food, and facilities, which I thought were good cost performance. This hotel is a little outside the town area, but in less than 10 minutes you can easily reach the naturally heated hot-spring sand bath at the public beach-side facility. Since the weather cooperated nicely for me, I decided to go take a sand bath at the beach in the morning. I had to catch a tour bus at 10AM. I took a taxi from the hotel at 8:30AM and went to the public sand bath, took my bath, and caught a bus to the station, all in enough time to take the tour. It was a rushed sand bath, but doable if you are pressed for time.
