    Sand Bath

    An Unforgettable Relaxation Experience

    Lie back and let the warm sand envelop you as you take in the beautiful view of Beppu Bay. This deeply relaxing experience melts away daily fatigue, warming you to the core in both body and mind.
    The sand is carefully heated with hot spring water nine times a day, each cycle taking about 30 to 40 minutes to remove impurities and keep it clean. For additional hygiene, guests are guided to different spots so that the same sand is never used twice.
