Shizuoka Shimoda City
An ocean-view resort with a natural-onsen open-air bath in every room and a Nordic-made barrel sauna
Livemax Resort Izu Shimoda is a resort hotel in Shimoda, Shizuoka. It stands on high ground above the beautiful Goishigahama beach, and its sweeping ocean views are a big part of its appeal. The main bathhouse draws natural onsen water from Kisami, an alkaline simple spring that is gentle on the skin and warms you to the core. Every room also has its own natural-onsen open-air bath, some made of Shigaraki ware, so you can enjoy a blissful soak in complete privacy. Inside there is also a Nordic-made barrel sauna shared by men and women, where pleasant heat and the scent of wood leave you deeply refreshed.

In this spacious, wide-open main bathhouse you can take your time in natural onsen water drawn from Kisami. It is an alkaline simple spring, gentle on the skin, that leaves you feeling light and refreshed after you step out. Stretch out your arms and legs in the roomy tub and let the fatigue of daily life quietly melt away in a moment of bliss.

Every room has its own open-air bath, some made of Shigaraki ware. In complete privacy, undisturbed by anyone, you can feel the pleasant breeze off the sea and have the natural onsen water from Kisami all to yourself. It is a luxurious setting for soaking as long as you like, with no one but your own party and no need to watch the clock.
