The view from the hotel is pretty good and the price is much better compared to the other more famous hotel next to it. Food and service is ok but don’t expect to be served as if you are eating at Nijo market. One plus point is that the hotel was not crowded and the onsen was pretty much a private one. The outdoor onsen is quite nice too.
The view from the room is great! Room feels dated but spacious. Private bathroom. The dinner and breakfast is acceptable. Onsen is good. The outdoor onsen will switch every day. Staff is friendly. Overall check in without any fuss. Free parking on site which is a plus point.
Toya Lake is a GEM, and it is really worth to spent a bit more for the experience. This hotel is on the edge of Toyo Lake, most rooms have beautiful view of the lake , and you can see the firework display clearly in the balcony. The room is spacious but the decor is dated and old fashioned. The dining room, the On-sen are dated and not really in the luxury class. The outdoor on-sen is used alternatively by men and ladies, so we can only use it on the day of arrival. We have half board which include breakfasts and dinners for two, so for US$ 200 it is not too bad, but the food is buffet style which is a disappointment, we expected for traditional inn like this they should serve Japanese set-meals The food is oK , snowy crabs are served, so as beef steaks and sukiyaki . I am not unhappy as I got what I paid for.But I wish I spent a bit more on a higher class hotel, so my trip to Lake Toyo could be more memorable. But there is always A NEXT TIME.…
On arrival at the hotel we were very pleased to be offered an upgrade to a lake view room for no extra charge. On entering our room we were stunned at the magnificent expanse of blue water beneath our balcony. The room was Japanese style and the beds were firm and comfortable. When we requested another pillow we were immediately given two. The buffet dinner we chose started at 5:30 pm. The range of foods was extensive and delicious, some of the best food we have eaten over the six years we have been visiting Japan! The waiting staff were very pleasant and directed us to our table and showed us how to begin the buffet. After a delicious dinner we went back to our room and watched the nightly fire work display over the lake. The next day after an early onsen bath, we had breakfast with a great variety of Japanese food including Onsen boiled eggs. All in all I would thoroughly recommend to stay at this hotel and beautiful Lake Toya.…
The hotel may be a little dated and has the 70s/80s feel to it but the rooms are clean and comfy. We like the lake facing room. You'll get a very scenic view of Lake Toya and a decent view of Mt. Usu on a clear day. You can also opt for the full board meal plan where you can enjoy a variety of Japanese cuisine. Food is so-so but a good variety to choose from. Tip is to go early for dinner (starts at 5.30pm) if you want to get a table as it is a buffet and they do cater for big tourist groups. There's fireworks ever night at 8.45pm. You can pretty much watch it from your room. I'd suggest to request for the rooms somewhere in the middle and high floor if you want a good view. Check out was all good and easy. They don't speak much English but a few staff can converse in Chinese. When we arrived we took the taxi from Toya station to the hotel which costs us around 2400 yen. But the receptionist was nice enough to recomend us the bus which was only 330 yen per person. The bus stop was just across the hotel. Takes you to Toya station. Lake Toya was a stop over on our trip from Hakodate to Sapporo. It was nice to break the journey and have a relaxing stay here. …
