Serviced Apartments in Toyako

I had an exceptional experience when I stayed at this hoel. The onsen was one of the highlights—spacious, clean, and incredibly relaxing. The dinner buffet was outstanding, offering a wide variety of delicious dishes that catered to all tastes. The food was fresh, well-prepared, and beautifully presented, making it an absolute treat. Additionally, the management and staff were top-notch. They were attentive, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure all guests had a comfortable stay. Their dedication to excellent service truly made a difference. Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality and relaxing stay.

The experience was somewhat satisfactory however the property is a bit old and not so well maintained , furniture is old & dirty and the room is stinks with cigarette smell. The design of the room is bad the location of the toilet right at the entrance door. The beds arrangement was not practical and user friendly to any occupants. Wey inconvenience to access and is small. The beds are too low and pillows are small. Generally staff service is satisfactory and acceptable. The great point of this property is that it has an awesome location and beautiful landscape outside and Great Lake views. Food is normal but the queue line is a bit unorganised and have to look into it though the outlet ambience is good.

Check-in at the front desk was like an assembly line operation, and restaurant reservations were made when checking in. The room facilities were old, but the hotel as a whole did not feel old. The scenery was beautiful and the service was great! While eating teppanyaki, I happened to see the beautiful sunset. The outdoor hot spring was absolutely amazing!

When I arrived at the hotel, I was surprised to find a welcome drink and sake, but it was delicious. The room also had a massage machine, which was very useful to get rid of the tiredness of driving. The young man Nakai was very polite and cheerful, and I felt calm. Middle 々 While there is no pet OK hotel, this hotel was a time when my dog was staying with me, so there was a dock run and I couldn't get a family tour group 々. Speaking of luxury, I wanted to stay for a few nights. Thank you to all the staff.

From Toya Train Station Bus Stop (immediately visible when you exit the Train Station), you can take a bus/taxi. I chose the cheaper option which costs about Y340. It's about 7 stops to Toyako Onsen Bus Terminal (serving as a transport node at Toyako Onsen) and another 3 stops to Motomachi Bus Stop (2 minutes walk to Hotel Hanabi). Travelling time by bus is about 20-25 min, but subject to waiting time (take note of the bus service timings). Google Maps works well to provide suggested travelling route and timings. I booked a single room for one night that was clean and served it's purpose. It felt a lot like a hostel than a hotel but has an onsen. My booking included a buffet dinner and breakfast which was critical as there weren't many food options around the area. Both buffet had a wide selection to cater to Asian/Western food preferences. There's a 7-Eleven that is about 5-10 min walk away. There's a Tourist Information Centre at the Bus Terminal. The Bus Terminal is also reachable by walking which will take about 15-20 min. Hotel Hanabi is one of many lodging options along Lake Toya, and just walking outside the hotel, I was already able to capture the nice photo of Mount Yotei. During the time I was there (mid-end Apr), there were no bus options so the only way to travel to Usuzan Ropeway was by taxi booking done at the hotel reception. It costed about Y1900 one-way and took about 15-20 min. Once I was done visiting, another taxi booking is done at the Usuzan Ropeway counter to the next destination.

We decided to spend one night in Tōya-ko on our way down to Hakodate and It was definitely worth it. Not only because of the beautiful scenery but also thanks to this hotel. It is definitely an old hotel, but in my opinion, it only added to the ,”traditional Japanese” vibe of the place. The room was very spacious for our family of 2 adults and 2 kids, and it was such a pleasant change to other new and modern yet very tiny hotels we normally stay at. Breakfast was excellent, with so many traditional dishes to choose from. And the onsen right in the hotel is another big plus. I'm not a huge fan of the onsen myself, but I absolutely loved the cave looking onsen and the one located outside. The whole hotel kind of reminded me of Ryokan. But what is hands downs the best about the place, is the view you get from your room, which is spectacular. The view of the lake Tōya and Mt Yōtei is simply breathtaking.  

I have to say that this is really a great memory. I went there at the end of 2019. The room I lived in was facing the lake. I got up in the morning and looked out the window and I could enjoy the lake view directly. There were buses outside to reach various attractions. The hot spring environment of the hotel is very good, soaking in the outdoor soup can also enjoy the snow while soaking, this is really a rare experience. It is highly recommended to go to the leisurely accommodation of Lake Toya and the people who soak in the soup.

　The Go To campaign has been postponed and we chose this hotel as a hotel where you can spend the year-end and New Year holidays quietly near Sapporo. It's almost on the other side of the lake of Lake Toya Onsen, so I really relaxed quietly. There is only one convenience store in the area, and there are few tourists. That's why I wanted to see the first sunrise of the New Year from the room bath. This year, the cold waves have come for the first time in decades, and Sapporo was like a snowstorm. Clouds flowed in Lake Toya near the Pacific Ocean side, but I was able to see the first sunrise from the open-air bath in the large communal bath. According to the hotel word of mouth at TripAdvisor, the evaluation was divided in an open-air bath with a room. It can be seen from the outside, but first of all, it's a cold village without people, and I think it's okay to have a bathing suit. I felt a special feeling of bathing while looking at the cold moon on a cold night. It's an overseas-capital hotel, so it's great to relax and understand in advance that it's different from a Japanese hot spring hotel. I would like to spend the New Year's Eve here next year. Good point: ① The hospitality of the staff, the number of Japanese staff increased, and the moderate distance feeling was wonderful. We stayed for 2 nights, but the words that conveyed the feelings of the staff relieved me. ② The meal was Japanese for both dinners and nights. The taste of the soup stock was very delicious. The main Hokkaido beef was the same level of deliciousness as the one I received at Niseko Hilton last fall. Near Maruyama in Sapporo, it is worth a course of around 10,000 yen. Breakfast buffet is far away. ③ The large windows of the large communal bath and the lukewarm water temperature made me enjoy the scenery of Lake Toya leisurely. ④ In winter, it is close to Niseko and Rusutsu (because the slip accident is scary at Nakayama Pass in winter). Both have half board during the ski season and cannot stay at this price. Improvement points: ① To go to the public bath, it was cold to go outdoors and dressing room once. It may be due to the cold waves, but yukata is severe on a snowstorm night. ② How about the fact that many hot spring hotels in Hokkaido can also slippers? Some people may want to go in yukata, but the atmosphere of dinner is disappointing. It may not be possible at a city hotel of this class. ③ As a layout of the room, it may be unfamiliar for Japanese people to have a washbasin in front of the bed. Especially we were triple beds, so it was too small because we had skiwear and the closet was small for winter consecutive nights. Still, overall, it is a reasonable dinner hotel that you want to revisit with the hospitality of the meal, hot springs, restaurants and bars, staff.

The room was large and quiet so I was able to spend a comfortable time! The staff were very friendly and I was able to enjoy my trip to Hokkaido without any inconvenience. Is the fireworks display lifted in various places this year? However, the fireworks in Toya here are the best! You can see it from your room, and if you want to experience more powerful fireworks, you can move to the lakeside to see it! (I was satisfied with the fireworks from the room ..) There is a little distance to the city, but I personally didn't particularly care. I definitely want to come next year!
