It is the most spectacular open-air bath that I hadn’t seen before. Healthy Land Tamatebako is a natural hot spring, where the guests can enjoy a magnificent view of sea and Mt. Kaimondake. You feel as if you were bathing in the middle of ocean, as your sight can be extended to the horizon.

The hot sand bath is a pleasurable and relaxing experience. For a novice the whole process is detailed in notices and diagrams, so it is easy to follow and avoid faux pas. First the change rooms with lockers where you strip off and put on the colourful yukata provided. Then go out to the beach where you lie down in a scrape in the sand with a towel wrapped around your head (bring your own to save 200 yen). An attendant shovels warm sand over you. Make a note of the time. Ten minutes is recommended but you can choose your own limit. After that it's back into the main building, off with the yukata, sluice off the sand and relax in the hot pool, and should you choose, a sauna and a cold plunge pool. Definitely better than my first experience at Beppu, where I was miffed at being turned out of the sand after ten minutes, just when I was enjoying it.

Old wooden onsen with just several small tubs. But, it makes this place special like a place in dramas. - The location is south of Yakushima. Bus stop #98. And it's 10~15 min from there. Travelers must keep track of bus schedule if they don't have cars. - Most visitors seemed to be residents nearby. They came with cars. And very few Japanese tourists. - The water is very hot and it's rare for indoor hot springs. - There's one compartment between men's and women's. It can't cut sounds nor split water. - I liked the owner's cats, too.

The sand bath was soothing - imagine being wrapped in a heavy warm comforter. We didn’t find the heat overwhelming at all. The attendants were friendly and helpful, taking pictures and offering to shovel more sand or help one uncover. The hot springs baths were also pleasant and there is a nice lounge area if you have someone who prefers to sit it out.
