Sand Bathing at Odaiba



It may appear from the pictures from the pictures above that I've been buried alive on a beach somewhere...however, this was actually a sand bath I enjoyed at the Odaiba Onsen over the weekend. My friend Sherry and I were wrapped in towels and then packed in hot sand to lay immobile for 15 minutes. My packer mentioned the heated sand would help to lessen any back pain and be relaxing. It was soothing and in spite of the intense heat, I found myself drifting off to sleep (I can sleep anywhere, I tell you). It was great, a fun experience and the warm shower afterwards was extremely refreshing. Definitely fun...just remember to remove any jewelry or metal on your body...that sand is soooo hot!!
