An extreme sauna exceeding 110°C, wrapped in natural spring water from Kuraiyama
Gifu Takayama City
"LiveMax Resort Hida Takayama ~Garyu no Sato~" is an onsen inn about a 15-minute drive from the center of Takayama City. With the sauna renewal in March 2026, the room temperature has been dramatically upgraded to an astonishing approximately 110°C. The extreme setup, where intense heat pierces through the body, has become a hot topic among sauna enthusiasts. The cold plunge bath uses natural spring water drawn directly from Kuraiyama, a mountain long revered as a sacred peak. Clear and mellow enough to be drinkable, the water gently yet powerfully envelops the skin after sauna use. Outdoor bathing in the open-air area, surrounded by the stillness of the forest, is another exceptional source of relaxation.
TypeNatural Hot Spring
The inn's own source of alkaline simple sulfur hot spring water. A faint sulfur aroma drifts through the air, enhancing the onsen atmosphere. The clear, smooth water is gentle on the skin and leaves it soft and moisturized after bathing. In the open-air rock bath and cypress bath, you can enjoy a soak while feeling the changing nature of Hida through the seasons.
