There is no reason not to try the hot sand bath when you go to Ibusuki

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Ibusuki is the only natural sand bath hot spring in the world. It is said that the health benefits of sand baths are three to four times that of ordinary hot springs. After enjoying a sand bath, your body and mind will feel extremely relaxed and refreshed. Most people go to the Sand Steaming Hall "Sand Music" for the most convenient. The small commemorative towel purchased at the sand bath center seems to be a must-buy, because it should be wrapped around the face when burying in the sand. As for the large towel, it is recommended that you bring your own, so you don’t have to spend an extra 300 yuan to rent it. After reaching the second floor, draw a number tag and line up to choose your plan and the towel you want to purchase. Then go into the changing room, take off all your clothes and put on a yukata, and follow the instructions to walk to the outdoor sand bath. After arriving at the sand bathing area, the staff will guide the tourists to lie down in the designated space and help them tidy up their yukata. They will then shovel sand onto their bodies until their entire bodies are buried, leaving only their heads exposed. It feels a bit heavy to be buried inside, and the calves that are not covered by the yukata will feel tingling. The temperature is slightly hot and you will sweat. After about 10 to 15 minutes, you can get up on your own and return to the room to rinse and soak in the hot spring. The indoor hot spring is not small, the temperature is about 42 degrees, and there is an oven that can be used. After soaking in the hot spring and taking a shower, the whole experience comes to an end, and I feel warm all over. You can feel the pleasure of having old waste substances in your mind, body and soul washed away, and your blood flow will flow more smoothly after taking a bath.
