Ibusuki, Kagoshima (鹿児島県指宿市) – Bettei Amafuru Oka (別邸天降る丘) – Sand bath (砂むし風呂) 2025 Nov. 26
So we are at Bet Amaruru Oka uh sharing some of the facilities with Bay Hills Hotel and this is the uh Tsunamushi Buro Sandbath which Ibusuki this part of Kagushima is well known for. And so there’s mineral composition in the sand and then below there’s the steam from the onsen. Let me get her first. Okay. Oh, you can. Okay. You’re gonna bury her. 10 minutes. So, he’s going to cover her with this sand. I found. So is it the onsen steam that gives the the uh mineral or does the sand have onen you know? Yeah. Yeah. So so the sand itself doesn’t have any unique mineral composition is that it’s mixed with the onsen. Yeah. And then there’s steam that heats it up from below as well. Right. I see. Awesome. Thank you.
Ibusuki, in Kagoshima Prefecture (鹿児島県指宿市), is best known for its sand baths (砂風呂), and we had our experience during a stay at Bettei Amafuru Oka (別邸天降る丘), a 15-room luxury property that was established in 2020.
