3 Star Hotels in Toyako, Hokkaido Prefecture

"The hotel itself is a bit on the far end of the town, making it nice and quiet, with a fantastic view over lake Toya and the islands. If you come by train or bus, they kindly offer shuttle services, which was greatly appreciated. Rooms very comfortable with their own onsen, beds amazing, breakfast also great - both options, Japanese and Western style. The only problem was that even though you were a hotel guest, you could not dine in the hotel, unless you call at least two days in advance. This was not mentioned anywhere during booking, so we were unpleasantly surprised that we couldn’t eat in our own hotel, considering that the towns is about 4 km away. So we had to take a taxi to eat somewhere. The restaurant was not even full in the evening, thus we felt quite disappointed by this strange situation. Other than this though, it was a very pleasant stay. "

"Have some of the most amazing and tranquil views imaginable of the lake. This hotel is away from the main town but offers a shuttle several times through the day and it is only a 10 minute ride highly recommend taking a ferry to the island in the middle of Lake Toya. The beds were super comfortable, and the food was traditional Japanese, which is not my favorite, but was good quality and generous. The staff were very friendly, but English was somewhat difficult for them. This was a great location to beat the heat that we had experienced in Tokyo and Kyoto, as it was unusually hot for June this visit we hiked around the island circumference which took about 2 1/2 hours. The water was really nice and I could see swimming there, but we just didn’t bring bathing suits. We learned from our relatives who live here that you can get pretty good food from 711 like these rice, seaweed wraps and things like that and green tea so those are perfect snacks to have for lunch or too tied one over Between meals. The shuttle stops right at the 711 so that is convenient. I know it sounds ridiculous to Americans, but the 711 in Japan is a lot better than America."

"We were overwhelmed with the value, amenities and everyone's attention. Great stay and we highly recommend."

"The staff was unbelievable, recognized us after the first time. The breakfast and dinner service was delicious. The on onsin was so convenient."
