Designed with the surrounding natural scenery in mind, the Natural Sand Bath Center Saraku is a bright and open facility complete with natural hot spring sand baths on the beach and a large bathhouse.

The sand baths here make use of the abundant hot spring water that naturally gushes up from below the ground along the coast, a rare convergence of conditions seen almost nowhere else in the world. The sand baths have been loved by people seeking their therapeutic benefits for about 300 years. Those in the know understand the health benefits the sand baths can provide. In recent years, the outstanding efficacy of this natural remedy has been reevaluated. Researchers in the medical field have investigated why the sand baths are good for the body and what kind of benefits they have, publishing reports on their amazing findings and making the merits of the sand baths known to many people not only in the local area but also throughout Japan. On days when the weather is clear and the condition of the sands is good during a low spring tide, you can enjoy sand bathing right on the water’s edge. During high tides and rainy weather, visitors can enjoy sand bathing under an all-weather roof set up on the beach.
