LiVEMAX RESORT Echigo Yuzawa

I’ve stayed here many times since the rebrand opening in October, during periods outside the busy winter season, and this was my first stay after the official renewal reopening. The new Wabirei Suite feels like the culmination of Livemax Resort—everything from the open-air bath in the Room and amenities to the large-screen TV, calming lighting, and existing fan-coil system plus individual air conditioning delivered my highest level of satisfaction among all Livemax Resorts I’ve stayed at. It was so comfortable that I ended up falling asleep without even going out for breakfast... Livemax Resort generally offers a high-quality buffet, but Echigo-Yuzawa is especially outstanding—so I’m sure this time’s breakfast must have been great too, and I regret missing it. The newly created Room is spacious, clean, and truly comfortable—“thoughtful attention to every detail” describes it perfectly. I’d love to be soothed by Yuzawa’s cool air again, so I’ll be back soon!

At check-in, I expected an older but conveniently located and reasonably priced Hotel near the station. The Room was spacious, and I had no complaints. Dinner and breakfast exceeded my expectations—both were buffet-style meals. There was a great variety of dishes with a well-planned layout, and everything was delicious—I ended up eating too much. Many of the staff were from overseas, but they left a very good impression; I felt they were well trained. The Onsen was larger than expected, and the sauna was also excellent. There were many types of guests—repeat visitors, solo travelers, business travelers, and families—and it felt like everyone had a very satisfying stay. I plan to visit Niigata again, so I would like to stay here again. It was very good.
