LiVEMAX RESORT Echigo Yuzawa

I stayed for one night with a couple of friends. Since the price was low, I didn’t have high expectations, but the Room was clean as it had just been renovated. The amenities were plentiful and great. The yukata and loungewear were nice, and the bath facilities were excellent—the sauna felt a bit different in a good way, and the open-air bath was also wonderful.The meals offered a wide variety of dishes, and both dinner and breakfast were very satisfying. I’d love to stay again.

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!
