About

Ibusuki Shusuien in Ibusuki Onsen is a legendary hot spring ryokan that has maintained the prestigious #1 position for twenty-five years in the food category of "100 Best Ryokans," offering various course dinners that guests consistently describe as "the best I've had in Japan by far." Located near the famous volcanic sand hot springs (sunaburo), where the staff helpfully arrange visits for guests to experience the unique earth-powered therapy, this traditional-style accommodation creates a nostalgic atmosphere. Beyond the exceptional cuisine and proximity to sand bathing, the ryokan offers excellent facilities including a sauna, cold bath, hot spring, evening self-service tea, and foot sand bath, all supported by friendly, attentive hosts who ensure a comfortable and memorable stay.
