2025 Ibusuki Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

This time, I want to introduce the Hana no Onsen Hotel Ginsho located in Ibusuki, Kagoshima. The name Ginsho sounds quite elegant in writing. However, when I recommended it to my friends and said in Cantonese, 'I'm staying at Ginsho Hotel this time,' they couldn't help but giggle. 🤭 After checking in at the hotel, you can enjoy a welcome drink and snacks at the reception restaurant. The green tea is freshly brewed by the staff using Japanese tea ceremony techniques, and it tastes great! As the name suggests, once you step onto the room floor, the scent of pine wood fills the air, which is very unique. What surprised me was the high CP value of the 2000 HKD per night stay with two meals. First, the room is super large, exquisitely decorated, new, and clean. It has a leisure terrace and an outdoor private onsen. The entire room offers an unbeatable sea view, and the scenery is top-notch. Listening to the sound of the waves, you can leave behind the busy pace of Hong Kong, clear your mind, and relax in your private onsen without worrying about others' gazes. It's truly chill. You can soak in the onsen anytime you want, 24 hours a day. It's very convenient to have an outdoor onsen in your room, and you can shower and sleep in your own room before and after soaking. After checking in, if it's not yet time for dinner, what can you do? Another selling point of this hotel is its proximity to the famous sand bath attraction. It's less than a 5-minute walk away, and you can enjoy the famous sand bath just by taking your room key. Since Kagoshima is full of geothermal activity, the sand under the beach is warm. The staff will instruct you to lie down, and then they will use shovels to cover you with the black coarse sand from the beach, burying you in the sand. After lying down for 15 minutes, you will sweat profusely from the hot sand, which feels very refreshing. It is said to expel toxins from your body and is very beneficial to your health. It's a must-try activity when visiting Ibusuki. At dinner time, there are staff members who speak fluent English to serve you. The food is very local and features Kagoshima specialties. 👍👍 After dinner, the staff highly recommended us to participate in the activities they prepared. With the map they provided, you can go to designated spots in the hotel to check in, and finally return to the front desk to receive a souvenir. You can see that they put a lot of effort into enhancing your stay experience. While looking for the check-in spots, you will come across the game room and find many things to play with. Overall, I am very satisfied with this stay. Transportation Guide - 1. There is a bus from Kagoshima Airport directly to Ibusuki, which takes about an hour and a half. 2. There is a special train from Kagoshima Central Station, the Tamatebako, to Ibusuki, but you need to book in advance as it is very popular. When I arrived and wanted to buy a ticket for the next day, it was already sold out.

A hidden gem in Ibusuki, Kagoshima Prefecture 😳 A spectacular view of Mt. Kaimon right in front of you 🌴🌻♥️ After relaxing in Ibusuki Onsen, you can relax in the spectacular view (◦ˉ ˘ ˉ◦) It's the best travel plan 🤤 The sand is black sand made from volcanic ash 🌊 When you get close to the sea, you'll see that it's a clear, beautiful beach ＼(^o^)／♥️ The atmosphere is different from Okinawa, which is also nice 👍!! 1st photo → A spectacular view of Mt. Kaimon and the sea ♥ 2nd photo → Mt. Kaimon and the sea viewed from a cave above the tunnel 🌊 3rd photo → The sea in the opposite direction from Mt. Kaimon 👶🏾 4th photo → The one and only wooden ladder to get to this beach 🤣 If it breaks, it's all over 🙏🏿 In fact, it's already a little strange 😇 (lol) A recommended place for those who like to explore 🚗♥♥️ ✍️💓 location📷: Togamine Beach 〒891-0513 Okajigamizu, Yamakawa, Ibusuki City, Kagoshima Prefecture ⚠️If you search on Google Maps, it will come up, but there is a small parking space at the end of this narrow, unpaved road 🤣 #Kagoshima Prefecture #Nature #Amazing View #Ibusuki Onsen #Travel Plan #0 Yen Trip #JapanTrip #Japan #Kagoshima Tourism #Kagoshima Trip

Kagoshima recommends Kirishima, Ibusuki, and Sakurajima. 🎏 Day 1 and the morning of Day 2: Ibusuki (Pictures 1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣4️⃣5️⃣6️⃣) 🚂 Departing from Kagoshima Chuo Station, you can take the black and white Ibusuki no Tamatebako train (Picture 14), which runs three times a day, all reserved seats, and requires advance reservation. The train offers limited edition black and white puddings. On the train, the black side has views of the mountains, and the white side has views of the sea, which is quite unique. It is recommended to stay near Ibusuki Station, where there are buses, electric bicycle rentals, and taxis. Ibusuki recommends visiting Chiringashima, Lake Ikeda, and Nagasakibana Shrine. ☀️ Chiringashima is an uninhabited island that emerges in Kinko Bay, isolated from the world. A sand bridge about 800 meters long appears on the sea surface connecting the island to the mainland for a few short hours before low tide, which is interesting. It is safe to walk on it only from March to October during low tide, and it takes about 20 minutes on foot to reach Chiringashima. The island largely retains its original natural ecology. 🌄 The sunset at Nagasakibana is very beautiful, but the last bus to Nagasakibana leaves at around 3 PM (Picture 6️⃣), which is a bit early for sunset viewing. The nearest train station to Nagasakibana is Nishi-Oyama Station, 18 minutes from Ibusuki Station, but there is no transportation from Nishi-Oyama Station to Nagasakibana, and it takes about an hour on foot. One option is to take a taxi round trip, another is to rent an electric bicycle at Ibusuki Station. 🎏 Afternoon of Day 2 and morning of Day 3: Kirishima (Pictures 7️⃣8️⃣) Kirishima is very beautiful, especially during the cherry blossom season, with cherry trees all along the way. The hot springs here are also famous. Kirishima Shrine is a must-visit for its beauty and atmosphere, and it is recommended to go there before 8 AM. (For more about Kirishima and Kirishima Shrine, please refer to my previous notes) 🎏 Afternoon of Day 3 and Day 4: Sakurajima (Pictures 9～13) Sakurajima is Japan's most active volcano, only four kilometers away from Kagoshima, so it is recommended to stay near Kagoshima Chuo Station on the nights of Day 3 and Day 4. From the port of Kagoshima City, take the ferry to Sakurajima, which runs every 20 minutes and takes 20 minutes for the whole journey. ⚠️ No ticket is needed for the ferry to Sakurajima; just board the ferry, and pay upon arrival at Sakurajima Port, where change machines are available. The return trip is paid at Sakurajima Port before boarding. Upon arriving at Sakurajima, get a Chinese version of the 'Sakurajima Area Map' (Picture 13) at the information center, and you can also buy a sightseeing bus ticket, a one-day pass for 500 yen, with hop-on hop-off privileges. The bus's highest point is 'Yunohira Observatory' (Pictures 11 and 12), and I highly recommend the 'Lava Coast Walking Trail' (Pictures 9️⃣🔟), which is less crowded and offers views of large black volcanic rocks by the sea🪨, very impressive. Not far from the trail, there is also a free foot bath to enjoy. 🎏 On the evening of Day 4, you can visit Kagoshima Chuo Station (end of the pictures), where there are plenty of restaurants and shopping.

🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂 Departing from Kagoshima Central Station to Ibusuki, you can take the “Ibusuki no Tamate Box” designed with the theme of the widely circulated Dragon Palace legend on the Satsuma Peninsula.

#2024TravelWish You must not miss the sand bath experience when you go to Ibusuki. We chose the sand steaming center "Saraku" because it is located next to the hotel where we stayed 😉. The hands and feet buried in the sand can feel their own pulse beating. The 15 minutes of quiet time is well worth it. Moreover, sand bath has higher health benefits than ordinary hot springs. Highly recommended♥️👍🏻 I want to go to Kagoshima again in 2024♥️Ibusuki #2024TravelWish #Ibusuki #Saraku Hall #Sand Bath Address: 5-25-18 Yunohama, Ibusuki City, Kagoshima Prefecture Fee: Adults ￥1,500 Children ￥1,000 Enjoy a 15-minute sand bath and a sand bath

Ibusuki Ginsho Hotel Kagoshima is a hot spring hotel with a relatively traditional decoration, but the service atmosphere is very warm. It has a high CP value and is worth recommending. I chose to stay for one night, with two meals, and the ingredients were very fresh and delicious. The rooftop bath is very comfortable. The room is a traditional Japanese tatami room. The view outside the room is open, watching the sunrise and the stars, highly recommended♥️ Location: 5-26-29 Yunohama, Ibusuki City, Kagoshima Prefecture 891-0406 #Kagoshima #Ibusuki #Hana no Onsen Hotel Ginsho

After the typhoon, it was completely ruined, and there were tree branches all around, but I really want to try the flowing water noodles. I'm not willing to eat it😭 Driving 🚗 did not bring too much expectations, because when we got down to see the sign that said not sure when the resumption of business, we were very unhappy 😫 As a result, I came back in a circle and saw someone queuing up. I immediately rushed down to look. It was really something to eat 😍😍😍 We have been in line for almost 1 hour, it is best to take turns in line, others can by the way wander around, the environment is very bird-speaking flowers, there are also small bridges flowing water, so that you feel relaxed and relaxed🍃 It's best to split up when it's your turn. Some people go to order, some people go to occupy seats. We chose to have air conditioning indoors this time, because the queue was too long and it was too hot🥵 Each table has been fixed with a flowing water table, I specially chose the pink one 😆 also blue option, in addition to the outdoor individual tables also have double-layer flowing water table, you may wish to try There are not many set meal choices, only four or five set meal options, you can choose fish sashimi or bean curd sushi🍣 If you pay too much attention to hygiene, it is best to review the equipment, because we have found a spider web across the running table 🥲 not visible for clean 🤣 The texture of the noodles is very smoky, and it is seamless to eat with the sauce🤤 I don't eat other dishes, just eating flowing noodles is very satisfying🥰 However, I felt that the white rice sushi in the fish sashimi package was too dry, so I finally gave up not eating 😅 fu skin sushi instead Juicy d, eat down 😆 If you travel to Kagoshima, remember to come here to eat running noodles. It is indeed worth a try. It is a unique experience😇 # Sign up for a cruise trial seater #Kagoshima #Ibusuki City #flowing noodles

Pokémon Ipe started serving as the cultural exchange ambassador of Ibusuki City in 2018, mainly because the Japanese pronunciation of Ipe is very similar to that of Ibusuki! So in December 2018, the first Ibe pattern manhole cover was installed at Ibusuki Station! In 2019, 8 more evolutionary forms of patterned manhole covers were added, each with its own unique Beautiful design, perfect for playing cards! Moreover, there is an enlarged version of Ibe in the Sarawak Hot Spring Hotel, which is very cute! #Japan Attractions #JapanTravel

Ibusuki in Kagoshima is the only natural sand bath hot spring in the world, so you must experience it when you travel to Ibusuki! Sand Music Hall is a famous sand steam hot spring hall with complete facilities and beautiful and comfortable environment! The whole process was that I needed to put on a Japanese Yukata and lie down, and then be buried in a pile of sand heated by underground hot spring water for about 10 minutes. After a while, I felt the pressure of the sand pile, which was very interesting! After the sand bath, you can return to the clubhouse to take a bath and soak in the hot springs and enjoy a leisurely day! #Japan Attractions #Kagoshima #JapanTravel

#KagoshimaTourism 🏯Access: 12131-4 Higashikata, Ibusuki City, Kagoshima Prefecture, 891-0404 💁🏻Tourist Spot: An art museum with four rooms of different designs that tell the history of Satsuma. In addition to items related to Saigo Takamori, Satsuma ware is on display. There is also a shop and restaurant.

#Japan Attractions Cape Nagasakihana is located at the southernmost tip of the Satsuma Peninsula in Kyushu, Japan. It is also called Ryuguhana and is the birthplace of the Japanese legend "Urashima Taro". However, it is not the southernmost point of Kyushu, as the Osumi Peninsula on the east side of Kagoshima Bay extends 20 kilometers to the south. A highlight of visiting Cape Nagasaki is the view of nearby Mount Kaimon, which stands at 924 meters above sea level. Due to its striking resemblance to Mount Fuji, it is often referred to as "Satsuma Fuji". Kaiwendake is accessible by foot, and through the winding trails on the mountainside, you can enjoy magnificent views of the surrounding area. When the weather is fine, you can see Tanegashima and the World Natural Heritage Yakushima in the distance from the lighthouse at Cape Nagasaki. Especially when the sun sets and gradually sinks into the sea, the sunset dyes the surroundings red, which is an impressive sight. Another attraction at the cape is the Nagasaki Flower Parking Lot, which displays a variety of tropical plants and animals such as lemurs, flamingos, squirrels, monkeys, hibiscus, cacti and mango trees. #Overseas Travel #Japan Travel #Japan Good Places #Japan Travel Guide #Japan Photography #Japan Kyushu #Pacific Ocean View #Island Holiday #Mountain

It's only at ryokans that they serve local ingredients on the tray, with a focus on local production and consumption More and more hotels and ryokans have central kitchens, but it's really appreciated that they offer something that you can only get by staying there I visited in mid-September, but I'm looking forward to the taste of autumn I want to enjoy the autumn appetite #Autumn trip #Accommodation report

The hotel is large, the scenery is beautiful, the rooms are spacious, clean and very comfortable. We booked Kaiseki cuisine for dinner. The ingredients were fresh and delicious, and the presentation was exquisite. It is worth a try. #Overseas Travel

Nishi-Oyama Station is the southernmost JR station in Japan and is popular as one of the hidden stations that everyone should visit at least once. The beautiful view of Mt. Kaimon in front of you is a great attraction! Many visitors come from all over the country to see it, but it is an unmanned station and it takes a long time to get there by train, so it is truly a hidden station! It is essential to check the time in advance. Information as of July 2022. #breathtakingview #touristtrain #railway #KagoshimaPrefecture #hiddenstation #photogenicspot #westernjapan

➰Black Sand Hot Spring in Ibusuki➰ If you are visiting Ibusuki City in Kagoshima, you must add "Sand Onsen" to your itinerary! The sand and gravel containing hot spring ingredients are covered on the human body for about 10-15 minutes. Heat energy causes the body to sweat, thus achieving a detoxifying effect. The sand is heavier than I thought, but it doesn’t feel painful when applied on the body. Instead, it feels very healing. The position where you lie down is close to the seaside. You can enjoy the hot sand bath, close your eyes and listen to the pleasant sound of the waves. It seems as if the whole world has stopped. It is so refreshing! There are two major hot sand fields in the host. I have visited both of them, but my favorite is "Yamakawa Sunamushi Onsen Sand Bath". Although it’s a long drive, the environment there is unparalleled and it’s a great place to recuperate your body and mind! ♨️ 📍Yamakawa Sunamushi Hot Spring, Ibusuki City, Kagoshima #Japan #Kagoshima #Ibusuki #Hot sand bath #Hot spring

2025.02 Fall in love with every moment of Southern Kyushu❤️ Satsuma Fuji stands quietly, and its round and elegant shape is incredibly cute. Like a gentle giant guarding this land I really like the leisurely pace of this land☺️ For me, Japan used to be the bustling Tokyo, the exquisite Kyoto, and the lively Osaka, but Southern Kyushu subverted my imagination. Everything here is simple, but it makes people want to come again and again. #SatsumaFuji

#2月好地方2025 The Meimon Shrine is located in Kaimon-ju-cho, Ibusuki City, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. It is a spiritual place that is especially loved by locals and tourists. This place is considered to be one of the best places in southern Kyushu with the best aura, suitable for meditation and prayer. We walked from the water surface for 25 minutes and took a walk after a delicious meal. This trip was very pleasant. The environment around the shrine is also beautiful and relaxing.
