Kagoshima is famous for its natural occuring geothermatically heated waters.

which makes it perfect for Onsen (hot spring)

and I've come to Ibusuki for one reason in particular

Onsen is those naturally occuring geothermically heated water

Which basically means that I'm getting the..

There is a lot of geothermal activities here,

an active volcano just a few kilometers from city center

Here is the city with Sakurajima looming over it all

Further south is Ibusuki, where the Sunamushi Onsen is

I took a local train from Kagoshima Chuo station to Ibusuki

Right away you can tell the sand baths are famous here.

a small towel will cost an extra of 120yen

Leave you stuff in the locker, and head out to the beach.

A funny site to see those heads sticking out of the sand

The sand is cleaned by flooded with near boiling

Let's ask the manager for more information

There are people who adjust the temperature

The hot spirng temperature directly is 80C

This has 4 times the effect of a normal onsen.

So I've been under for about 5 minutes now.

I can definitely feel the heat, mostly on my back.

and the weight of the sand is doing something strange to my body
