About Livemax Resort Kinugawa
Livemax Resort Kinugawa is an onsen hotel in Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture. It sits in a superb spot looking down over the beautiful Kinugawa gorge, an open setting wrapped in nature that changes with the seasons. In the main bathhouse, in the open-air bath with its magnificent views, and even in the private Shigaraki-ware open-air bath found in every room, you can indulge in natural onsen fed straight from the source, never recirculated. The sauna area has a serious convection stove from Harvia, the leading sauna brand, along with comfortable chairs for totonou, the deep calm after the heat. With a heated rooftop pool, a restaurant and more, it is a place to find deep relaxation in body and mind.
Hot SpringONSEN
Open-Air Bath
An airy open-air bath with a close view of the beautiful Kinugawa gorge. It brims with water from a celebrated, historic simple spring, fed straight from the source, never recirculated, and the soft water warms the body gently to the core. It is a superb bathing experience in which you feel at one with the murmur of the river and the scenery of each season.
Main Bathhouse
A main bathhouse in a chic, calm Japanese-modern design. Here too, natural onsen fed straight from the source is used lavishly, and in the spacious tub you can stretch out and soothe away everyday fatigue. Water that is gentle on the skin envelops the whole body and brings deep peace to body and mind.
Private Bath
A fully enclosed private bath where you can enjoy the onsen without reserve in a space of your own. With a step-free, barrier-free design and a shower booth with handrails, anyone can use it with peace of mind. A soothing bath for spending special time with someone dear.
Open-Air Bath in Your Room
A private Shigaraki-ware open-air bath on the terrace of every room. In a fully private space where no one will disturb you, you can enjoy natural onsen fed straight from the source whenever you like. Soaking in the tub with the grand nature of Kinugawa all to yourself promises blissful private time.
Sauna & Cold BathSAUNA & COLD BATH
Löyly Sauna
A löyly sauna with a Harvia convection stove. Pleasant heat and steam rising from the sauna stones fill the quiet room, warming the body slowly and leading to a deep sweat. After gently cooling your flushed body in the tap-water cold plunge, move to the carefully chosen, ergonomically designed Adirondack-style chairs. Give yourself over to the vivid afterglow of hot and cold, and sink into a deep refreshment that makes you forget everyday life.
