Aomori Hachinohe City
A station-front hotel with the celebrated Towada Pony Onsen and a proper sauna
Hotel Livemax Hon-Hachinohe Ekimae is a business hotel in Hachinohe, Aomori Prefecture. Inside is Sauna Max, a sauna area also open to day visitors, where you can enjoy a proper sauna and onsen to your heart’s content. Sweat it out slowly in a sauna full of heat with automatic löyly, cool down in the refreshing cold plunge, then sink into deep relaxation in a resting chair. The hotel also draws the weakly alkaline simple spring of Towada Pony Onsen, a celebrated onsen known for its silky feel on the skin, which gently eases the fatigue of business trips and sightseeing. It is easy to reach from the station, making superb relaxation simple to come by.

A spacious main bathhouse drawing water from the source of the celebrated Towada Pony Onsen. The weakly alkaline simple spring has a smooth, slippery feel on the skin and warms the body to the core. Stretch out your legs and soak at leisure, and the fatigue of travel or work gently melts away.

A proper dry sauna where automatic löyly runs at regular intervals, wrapping you in pleasant heat and steam. You take the waves of heat with your whole body and sweat freely, and at collaboration events there are also aufguss sessions with powerful blasts of hot air. After the sauna, sit in one of the resting chairs provided and enjoy a pleasant reset in a quiet space of your own, as your whole body turns light.

A cool, refreshing cold plunge where the cold pulls the body taut after the sauna’s heat has left it flushed. Once you have cooled down properly, move to the rest area, laid out for an easy flow, and enjoy the bliss of alternating hot and cold that leads you into deep relaxation.
