Ibusuki

Things to do in Ibusuki

  1. Yoshi-no-yu

    Up-to-date sentō with a pretty rotemburo in a garden.

  2. Yaji-ga-yu

    Loads of atmosphere in this historic wooden sentō (1892) away from the town centre, so old it has no showers; you wash by dipping buckets in the tub.

  3. Ibusuki Sunamushi Kaikan Saraku

    On the beachfront, pay at the entrance, change into the provided yukata and wander down to the beach where women with shovels bury you in hot volcanic sand. Reactions range from panic to euphoria. It's said that 10 minutes will get rid impurities, but many stay longer. When you're through, head back up to soak in the onsen.

  4. Aoba

    Behind the yellow noren (door curtain) two-minutes' walk left of the station, this cheery shop serves satisfying kurobuta roosukatsu (black pork cutlet) teishoku (¥1320) or, if you dare, Satsuma jidori sashimi (raw sliced chicken, ¥780).
