Tochigi Moka City
A large spa with a blazing, serious sauna and natural onsen water from a chloride spring
Spa Resort Livemax is a large bathhouse in Moka, Tochigi Prefecture. A renovation in August 2025 took its sauna setup a big step forward, creating a serious dry sauna with automatic löyly and löyly you pour yourself with a choice of aromas. Regular aufguss events are also held, for an overwhelming sweat. Mori no Izumi, the onsen water that rises from underground, is a mineral-rich sodium chloride spring that retains heat well, so you do not cool down quickly after bathing. With a wide range of baths, including an airy open-air bath and a standing bath, it refreshes body and mind deeply. The on-site lodging MAXCUBE rounds out a restorative resort where you can relax at leisure and lose track of time.

A main bathhouse where you can savor Mori no Izumi, natural onsen water that rises from underground. The water is a sodium chloride spring that retains heat well, and a cozy warmth lasts long after bathing. With a wide range of baths, including an open-air bath under a soaring open ceiling with a great sense of space and a deep standing bath that promotes blood flow throughout the body, you can make your way around them to your heart’s content.

A serious dry sauna, upgraded in the renovation. Besides automatic löyly, which sprays water onto the heated sauna stones on its own, it offers aroma löyly you pour yourself, with the scent of your choice. Watching the large TV, you can enjoy an overwhelming sweat wrapped in powerful heat and rich fragrance. Aufguss masters also hold regular sessions.

A steam room warmed by soft water vapor. It is set to a lower temperature than the dry sauna, so it is less stifling and lets you warm the body slowly over time. A gentle sauna space where people of all ages, from those who dislike intense heat to children and older guests, can refresh without strain.

A cold plunge that briskly braces a body thoroughly warmed by the sauna or onsen. Alternating hot and cold boosts blood flow throughout the body and brings a deep refreshing effect. It is within easy reach of the sauna room, making it an ideal place to cool a body flushed with heat.
