Shizuoka Ito City
An Izu resort of natural onsen water fed straight from the source and a Harvia sauna
Livemax Resort Ito Kawana is an onsen resort hotel in Ito, Shizuoka Prefecture. Its true löyly sauna is heated by a stove from Harvia, Finland’s leading brand, and after a good sweat you can sink into deep relaxation in the Adirondack chairs set aside for it. The prized natural onsen water is a heat-retaining chloride and sulfate spring, fed straight from the source, never recirculated. Besides the airy main bathhouse and open-air bath looking out over the Sagami Sea and rich nature, you can also enjoy the fresh water in Shigaraki-ware open-air baths in the rooms and in the private baths. With a restaurant, a pool and other amenities, it offers a luxurious stay where you forget everyday life and restore body and mind.

A true löyly sauna with a Harvia convection stove. Heat and steam spreading from the sauna stones fill the room with pleasant humidity and warm the body slowly. After cooling the flush with a crisp chill in the cold plunge right beside it, you give yourself over to an ergonomically designed Adirondack chair. The vivid afterglow of hot and cold leads into a deep, relaxing spell.
