Sand Bath
What you can see in the picture is called 'sand bath' and it's a speciality from the hot spring town of Beppu. They're usually located indoors in hot spring resorts or outdoors in the beach.
In short, it consists of putting a yukata on, selecting the sand 'pool' depending on its temperature, digging a hole in it and covering yourself in sand with the help of another person. As a pillow you're provided with a square piece of wood... it's kinda special feeling but I think I won't become a fan of this stuff.
