Located along Beppu Bay, Kamegawa Onsen is one of Beppu's eight hot springs, and is rich in simple hot springs that are colorless, odorless, and gentle on the skin, as well as chloride springs that are highly effective in retaining heat.
The specialty of Kamegawa Onsen is a sand bath where bathers are buried in naturally heated sand. It has been believed to detoxify the body by expelling waste and stimulating metabolism since the Edo period. There used to be private sand baths in Kamegawa Onsen, but the only one remaining is the municipal "Beppu Kaihin Sand Bath." A "sunakake-san" will pour sand over your entire body while you lie down in the sandpit in a yukata (summer kimono). Wash the sand and sweat off in the bathhouse after 10 to 15 minutes of sweating, and you will feel refreshed.
On the other hand, the most popular regular hot spring facility is Hamada Onsen. This public bathhouse, with its tasteful karahafu-style architecture, is well-loved by the locals.
