Hot Springs Hotels in Toyako

What a fantastic stay! I initially chose this place because I wanted to experience Lake Toya's beauty on a budget, and I was genuinely impressed. While its location isn't as central as some of the more popular hotels, Lake Toya itself is huge, offering unique views from every angle. The traditional Japanese-style tatami room was incredibly spacious – a rare comfortable stay during my Hokkaido trip. The owner was also very kind. I had booked a dinner and breakfast plan for two people, but when they realized I was alone, they doubled down on my dinner portion! The variety was great, and the food was delicious – I ate until I was completely satisfied. Plus, since it's not one of the super popular hotels, it wasn't too crowded. I practically had the hot springs (including the outdoor one!) all to myself in the evening. After my soak, I bought a couple of beers, and enjoying them while watching the snowy scenery brought such a sense of peace. I even went for another dip before checking out in the morning, feeling completely refreshed as I concluded my Lake Toya trip.

The location is very good, in walkable distance to a lot attractions. Though the room only comes with toilet and washing sink but you can shower downstairs. There’s also a shared toilet outside the room every floor. The room structure is well organised, the sleeping area was very comfortable and you can see Mount Yotei from the room! Some of the reviews mentioned having smoke smell in the room but we were lucky that our room didn’t! Overally it was a very cutesy tatami experience for us. Onsen was good too!
