December 27, 2011 - Ibusuki Onsen

The fame of Ibusuki not come from its waters, but of black, volcanic sand. 
That's the only time to take a bath in Japan, without washing first. You will get a yukata, together with plastic slippers. 
From the locker room right after it goes out to Sunaburo (sand bath). 
There are willing workers (aged 16-86, anything is possible), which dug a trough for you.You put into it, when it's convenient for you, you start with shovels to cover up the black sand. 
A sand bath in Ibusuki is often the highlight of many people who have a tour of various onsen behind. 
It is unique. The bathroom is right on the beach in Kagoshima Bay. It can not continue in the south, to be without in Okinawa. Hardly anyone has ever regretted having come to Ibusuki.

In the following page you have more details:http://www.japan-swiss.ch/kyushu/kagoshimaken/ibusukionsen/index.html
There is even a video at the end. For more details about Kyushu visit: http://www.japan-swiss.ch, the page is switchable to english
