Ibusuki Sand Baths 指宿砂むし

Visiting Ibusuki Sand Baths today

• What it is: A seaside hot-spring custom: in a cotton yukata, you lie on the beach and staff shovel naturally heated black sand over you, then rinse off in the baths.
• Getting there: From JR Ibusuki Station (Ibusuki Makurazaki Line from Kagoshima-Chuo), Sand Bath Hall Saraku is about 20 minutes on foot or 3 minutes by car.
• Hours: Vary by facility; we could not confirm Saraku's current hours on an official page.
• Admission: Charged; the sand bath price includes the hot-spring bath and yukata. Check the current fee with Saraku.
• Tip: Ten to fifteen minutes under the sand is plenty; buy a face towel at the counter.
