Hiroshima Hatsukaichi City
An ocean resort with natural onsen water fed straight from the source and sweeping views of Miyajima
Livemax Resort Miyahama Onsen Ocean is an onsen resort hotel in Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima Prefecture. Its greatest draw is the superb ocean view across Miyajima in Aki, one of Japan’s Three Views, and the Seto Inland Sea. In the bathing zone on the top floor, panoramic open-air baths sit side by side as if cradled by sea and sky, and the soft water of a weakly radioactive, low-temperature simple spring soothes body and mind. The spa is well equipped, with a proper sauna with automatic löyly and a high-humidity warm-stone room built with natural stone. Every room also has its own open-air bath of natural onsen water fed straight from the source, never recirculated, so you can have the view all to yourself and savor blissful private time without interruption.

An airy main bathhouse on the top floor looking out over Miyajima and the Ono Strait. The panoramic open-air area has a reclining bath and a rock bath, with a grand view across the Seto Inland Sea. The weakly radioactive, low-temperature simple spring is gentle on the skin, enveloping your whole body and slowly easing away the fatigue of daily life.

Every room has its own open-air bath of natural onsen water fed straight from the source, never recirculated. In your own tub of hinoki or Shigaraki ware, you have the beautiful ocean view of the Seto Inland Sea all to yourself. With no need to watch the clock or mind anyone around you, you can enjoy a superb private soak to the sound of the waves.

A spacious dry sauna with a TV where you can sit back at your leisure. Automatic löyly goes off at regular intervals, filling the room with rich steam, and a strong yet pleasant heat wraps around your whole body. Once you have worked up a good sweat, head to the chairs set out in the open-air area. Cooling off in the open air in the fresh sea breeze of the Seto Inland Sea, you drift into a state of deep relaxation.

The cold plunge sits right beside the sauna, so you can cool your flushed body down without a break. The crisp, refreshing water gently pulls the body taut, letting you enjoy the full pleasure of alternating hot and cold. With the heat drawn out, you move on to cooling off in the open air on the terrace with its ocean view, the perfect lead-in to totonou, that state of deep, blissful relaxation.

A proper high-humidity warm-stone room built with natural stone. Men and women can use it together wearing the samue work clothes provided, and the gently spreading far-infrared heat warms you to the core. It brings on a pleasant sweat, and together with the relaxing effect of negative ions, makes for a deep detox experience.
