Unique Sand Steam Hot Spring Hotel - Ibusuki Hakusuikan
Opened in 1947, Ibusuki Hakusuikan in Kagoshima, Japan, is one of the top ten hot spring hotels in the country and is also a rather luxurious establishment. It is said that the sand steam hot springs here are unique outside of Turkey, and their distinctive therapeutic effects are recognized and sought after by the Japanese people for experience and enjoyment. The hotel is situated by the sea and is exquisitely decorated, featuring traditional Japanese dry landscape gardens, various Satsuma treasures, and garden ornaments, preserving the cultural heritage of the old Satsuma Domain, making visitors feel as though they are stepping into a museum.
When visiting Hakusuikan, it is essential to book a half-board stay, not only because the transportation is inconvenient, but more importantly, because the hotel's cuisine features Kagoshima specialties that transform into delicious dishes unique to each season, which are extremely tasty and captivating!
