Why Choose Hotel Livemax Kuroishi?
While searching for accommodation in the wider area, the single biggest reason we chose this hotel was the strikingly affordable price point.
Although it is situated a bit away from central Hirosaki and involves a little extra travel convenience, the sheer value offered was simply too good to pass up, making it an irresistible choice for our budget-managed itinerary.
Access and Location
Hotel Livemax Kuroishi is situated within Kuroishi City.

Because it is located somewhat away from major city centres, a bit of planning is needed for transit, but the surroundings offer a quiet, peaceful atmosphere. For travelers enjoying a relaxed, local-paced itinerary, it provides a wonderfully calm base.

Room Review: Non-Smoking Twin Room and In-Room Hot Springs
For this stay, we booked a non-smoking twin room.




The room was functionally laid out and offered a cozy, orderly environment. The absolute highlight, however, was the hot spring bath included in every single room.
Being able to enjoy a relaxing soak in natural hot spring water right in our own room was an incredible luxury, melting away the fatigue of a long day of travel. Getting this level of relaxation at such a low price exceeded all our expectations.
Booking Details and Rates
Budget management is a key part of planning a successful journey.

We booked our stay via Agoda, and the rate for a 1-night stay in a non-smoking twin room came to an astonishing CAD 29.93. Given the unbeatable price combined with the private hot spring experience, it offered extraordinary value for money.
Note: Room rates vary depending on the season, booking timing, and exchange rates. Please check respective booking platforms for current prices and availability.
Pros and Cons
Here is our honest take after staying at the property:
The biggest advantages are the astonishingly pocket-friendly pricing and the luxury of having an in-room hot spring. On the flip side, the location is a bit out of the way and less convenient for general transit, but the unique benefits far outweigh the minor travel inconvenience. It is a fantastic hidden gem for budget-conscious travelers.

Conclusion
This review covers our stay at Hotel Livemax Kuroishi.
If you are looking for an exceptionally budget-friendly place to stay that comes with the wonderful bonus of an in-room hot spring, it is a brilliant option to consider. We hope this review helps you plan your next trip!
