About Livemax Resort Hachimantai Forest

Livemax Resort Hachimantai Forest is an onsen inn in Hachimantai, Iwate Prefecture. Its water comes from Hachimantai Onsen, a simple sulfur-bearing spring. Faintly scented with sulfur, the water glides gently over your skin, and together with the fresh mountain air it helps your whole body quietly let go. True to its name, the inn is surrounded by deep forest; sink into the wonderfully airy open-air bath and all that reaches your ears is the rustle of the trees and the calls of birds. The main bathhouse also has a high-temperature sauna and a cold plunge, and there is real luxury in working up a good sweat and then cooling down in the clear forest air. After your bath, the restaurant serves a varied menu made generously with local ingredients, rounding off a blissful day of unwinding in the heart of nature.
