Get Buried and Beautiful at Ibusuki’s Sunamushi Sand Onsen (Hot Spring)

Located in Kagoshima Prefecture, Ibusuki City is famous for its Sunamushi Onsen, and many Japanese people have at least seen pictures or video of it.

I’ve written this article as a guide to using the spa, which has recently developed new treatments on top of the traditional ways of using these baths. Leave it to me, the master hot spring concierge, to provide you a useful guide to these treatments!
