Ibusuki Phoenix Hotel is old, but I appreciate the kindness of the staff.

Although the hotel is rated 4 stars on the reservation site, it is often written as old, so I visited with some anxiety.

It is certainly old, and the long corridors are dim at night, so I think that 👻 might appear.

But all rooms have an ocean view, and the view is amazing both at night and in the morning!!

Another nice point is that you can experience sand baths inside the hotel💡 ̖́-

Since sand baths are experienced naked and wearing yukata, I was surprised that all the sand-throwers were men and the experience area was the same for men and women, but they quickly explained the situation and sprinkled sand on me, so I didn't have time to worry about it😂
I feel that they are also considerate in making sure that men don't sit next to me!

Even though I didn't need a shuttle to the station and I was the only user, the staff offered to shuttle me, probably because they saw that I was flustered and sweaty. I appreciate their thoughtfulness🙏

I want to use it again!!
