A new resort is opening in the Hakodate area of Hokkaido. Livemax Resort Hakodate Shikabe Onsen is scheduled to welcome its first guests on May 29, 2026, in Shikabe Town, Kayabe District.
Area Characteristics
Shikabe Onsen, easily accessible from the Hakodate area, is a relaxing hot spring destination surrounded by abundant nature and a tranquil atmosphere. Set against the backdrop of Mount Komagatake and Uchiura Bay, the location offers a stay that feels far removed from everyday life.
