About Livemax Resort Kawaji
Livemax Resort Kawaji is an onsen resort hotel in Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture. Its greatest draw is its natural onsen, drawn generously from its own free-flowing spring and fed straight from the source, never recirculated, with no added water and no reheating. The soft water of the alkaline simple spring wraps around your skin, and after your bath it stays feeling smooth and moist. You can relax to your heart’s content in the main bathhouse and the open-air bath while listening to the murmur of the Ojika River and taking in the natural beauty of each season. You can also work up a sweat in the sauna, and the private bath and the rooms with their own open-air bath offer time to unwind on your own. With a restaurant serving seasonal local flavors, karaoke and a foot bath, this is an inn where you can leave everyday life behind for a truly blissful stay.
