Q.What is Japanese Sand Bath?
砂蒸し風呂(すなむしぶろ / suna-mushi-buro / 砂(Sand) 蒸し(steam) 風呂(bath)) is a kind of steam bath, like sauna, but in the sand. Sauna uses the steam and heat in the air, but Japanese Sand Bath uses the steam and heat from hot springs in the sand.
The Japanese original name for Beppu Beach Sand Bath is 別府海浜砂湯(べっぷかいひんすなゆ / Beppu-kaihin-sunayu / 別府(Beppu city) 海浜(beach) 砂湯(sand bath)).
砂湯(すなゆ / suna-yu / 砂(Sand) 湯(hot water or bath or [can be] hot springs)) in 別府海浜砂湯 is translated into English as Sand Bath, but I think it would be better to use 砂蒸し風呂 to describe Japanese Sand Bath in general.
Don't be confused with a laboratory equipment or an animal behavior sand bathing(dust bathing).
