A Once-in-a-Lifetime Sand Bath
What makes the Ibusuki Royal Hotel truly different from any other hotel in Japan, and indeed, the world, is the Ibusuki sand baths. The top attraction of our area, the warm sand baths are naturally heated by hot spring water. Laying in the sand, you can relax in a sauna-like experience—one that allows your body to flush out toxins and improve circulation. Your body will be refreshed, and in no time you’ll be planning your next visit to the baths.
Tips to Enjoying the Baths
Step 1
Depending on the type of room you booked, either purchase or pick up your ticket for the sand baths at our reception desk.
Step 2
Hop onto one of our hotel shuttle buses to the sand baths—they are running between 4 and 6:30 PM.
Step 3
Once at the baths, give your ticket to the reception and change into the designated yukata robes. It’s best to be naked underneath so that your undergarments don’t get sweaty and sandy.
Step 4
Walk down to the baths. Choose a trench to lay in, and an attendant will slowly scoop the warm sand on top of you. The baths are similar to being in a sauna, and the toxins built up in your body will slowly be released.
Step 5
Once you’re finished with your sand bath, return to the changing room for a shower and a hot spring bath. Return the yukata to the designated box and change back into your regular clothes.
Step 6
Take one of our shuttle buses back to the hotel. Make sure you don’t miss the last one of the day!
