Why do the Japanese bury tourists in the sand

Japan is a country of contrasts. A small area of the archipelago combines tradition and modernity, pristine nature and high-tech city blocks. The image of Japan is associated with many advanced developments, skyscrapers and high-speed highways. But there is another, provincial Japan, no less interesting and attractive for tourists.

Ibusuki Town, with a population of just over 40,000, is located in the southern part of Kyushu Island, in Kagoshima Prefecture. This small seaside town is the personification of a measured, unhurried life in harmony with the surrounding nature. It is interesting primarily because it is located near an active volcano.

Unusual natural objects attract many tourists from various parts of the planet to Ibusuki. This balneological resort has everything you need for a comfortable stay: many hotels, magnificent beaches and cultural attractions. Located in the very south of Kyushu, the city has a mild subtropical climate, comparable to the Russian Sochi. The temperature in winter here does not fall below +5 degrees, but for those who like the hottest, the organizers of tourist vacations will offer an original wellness procedure - hot sand baths.
