Hotel dengan Bar di Ibusuki

We came to experience the hot sand bath they have here. The hotel was terrific, we were on the top floor in a huge room with a full room length window looking at the ocean, it was quite stunning. Two huge beds and lovely lounge chairs to sit and take in the view, it was nice to see ships going by. Wifi worked well, we had dinner and breakfast in a dining room also looking out at the ocean, it was smorgasbord style, eat as much as you want, the food was lovely and fresh all very tasty. The main reason for the trip here was to experience the hot sand bath, this was a first for us. Basically they give you special clothes to wear , dig a hole in the sand, lay you in it then cover you with the Hot sand, only your face is exposed. Quite hot, very relaxing and comfortable, the longer you stay there the hotter you become, 15 minutes is the recommended time, we did a few minutes more it was Soo nice. It was a long way to go for the experience but well worth it, if you get a chance do it. The whole package at this hotel was lovely. Highly Recommend

I write this in the midst of the great pandemic of 2019-2022 ? I was fortunate enough to squeeze through the stringent Covid protocols to enter Japan for a brief period of time during December of the year 2021. I had always wanted to see Southern Kyushu, and so we were looking for a centrally located place on the southern peninsula. The Iwasaki Hotel looked fantastic on the brochures and website but was at a much lower price point than the more opulent Ibusuki Hakusuikan. We booked a triple room on the 5th floor of this curvy retro futuristic behemoth and settled in to its aging but comfortable rooms. Looking more like a hotel befitting the coast of Kā‘anapali, there is definitely a Hawaiian vibe to the meticulous tropical landscaping and room appointments. Devoid of tourists, the emptiness of this vast hotel was a little spooky. In its heyday one could imagine hordes of happy Japanese vacationers taking in the endless venues for activities like black sand “bathing” golfing, huge natural looking pools surrounded by tropical foliage and a HUGE arcade of noisy, brilliantly lit games of every sort and color. There is a virtual shopping mall in the basement with locally produced omiage and clothing shops to suit any taste in fashion. There is even a full sized bowling alley ! The weird part was that despite every shop being fully staffed, there were absolutely no customers. Each time we would walk by, the staff looked eager even if we took a passing interest in their wares. I almost felt sorry that I couldn’t load up my suitcase with useless trinkets just to give them a sale. The vast dining room was beautiful. With a extensive wall of windows facing the sea, the views were spectacular and the staff very attentive to our every need. We had a very nice yaki niku dinner with a wide assortment of Kobe beef and seafood. The Kirin Ichiban was icy cold. Sure this place is showing it’s age. I’m not sure how long they will be able to stay in existence without a serious influx of money and tourists, but it was a very interesting time capsule of Japan’s opulent heyday of excess. It’s definitely worth a stay unless you’re fearful of long dark hallways of empty rooms, rusting spiral staircases, and spookily silent bowling alleys. PLEASE go visit this place. The grounds are gorgeous, the staff are attentive and the rooms are clean with beautiful views toward the sea. This place won’t be around for long unless YOU come to visit !

4月3日に宿泊 夜食を予約していなかったのにお願いしたら心良く承諾されて頂き感謝しております。 よる遅くまでお酒の席にお付き合いしていただきありがとうございました。 今回の旅は天候に恵まれず残念でしたが良い思い出が出来ました。 ご主人様の心使いには感謝しております。 ただ2点だけ残念な所をありましたので申し上げます。 ①部屋の洗面所にコップがなかった。歯磨きの後にうがいが出来ずの点 ②家族風呂の湯は源泉で大変温まり素晴らしかったですが、早朝に入った時に 　お湯がぬるかったのには残念でした。源泉の蛇口を捻れば熱いお湯が出る事の 　説明をして欲しかった。でも大変すばらしいお湯に感動しました。

前回は砂蒸し会席を、そして部屋に露天風呂であったが今回はなし、でも今回は天空の湯を楽しみ満足。 屋上の天空の湯、大小の湯船が２つ、露天のためかどちらも湯は温め。 湯船につかると錦江湾と一体に。 部屋はコロナの間に改修したのか、前は昔の温泉旅館そのままという感じであったが、今回は部屋もきれいになっていてイメージが一変。 なぜだか気分良く過ごせた、ただ鍵は１つしかもらえず改善が必要かと。 食事処、個室になっており、前回利用時より広く感じられ、二人には広すぎ？という感じであった。 テーブルには温泉が通され、温泉たまご作ったり野菜ゆでたり。 また、目の前でさつま揚げを揚げたり。（従業員がやってくれるのだが） 温かいものを温かいうちに、という感じ？前回でもあったことだがこれはGOOD！ 前回と違ったところ（コロナ前）は、従業員が若くなった、そして服装が和服から洋装に。 でも、接客は変わらず。 また夜、庭がライトアップなど趣向が凝らされ、庭への出入口の休息所では無料でコーヒー 飲めるようになっていた。 駐車場、ホテル敷地内では１０数台、他にもあるようだがホテル敷地内希望であれば 早めの到着を。
