We were very pleased with the location, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful everywhere. The building isn’t brand new but it’s well kept and clean. In fact I was expecting something a bit more old fashioned after looking on the Expedia listing. Overall a very nice time with a beautiful view of Lake Toya wherever you go!

Good for a relaxing family stay.
Nice, huge hotel with adequate service & amenities. Please pay extra attention on your chosen Breakfast and Dinner timing, as efficient as their culture, you are expected to come within the timeslot. Nice view of the Toyako, taxi are available upon request to explore the area. Not much tourist as described in other review.

Have stayed in many ryokans in the past hence was pleasantly surprised to find this ryokan modern and new! The lobby area was really modern looking and check in was a breeze. The Japanese style rooms were also very spacious. Our package was half board, so we had the buffet dinner and buffet breakfast. Both meals were decent with a good spread of food to cater to different palates. Great hotel!

Wide variety of food at the dinner and breakfast line. There were some nice dishes. The soundproofing in the room was terrible and we were jostled awake by the slamming/ closing of doors from other room and crying of babies along the corridor almost every hour until 2am. Onsen was pleasant. Would definitely NOT recommend this hotel overall if you are looking for a good rest.

Great location by the lake. We were able to watch the nightly fireworks from our window. Would have liked to have eaten dinner in our room but there wasn't room service. Room was clean and comfortable. Hotel very big and staff very busy.

Wonderful location facing the lake & also short walk to 7/11 convenient store and some family run restaurants. Rooms are spacious but a bit outdated and toilet area is rather tight. It is a big hotel with many guests and they do serve a good breakfast.

Dinner buffet spread not as good, roasted beef was dry (not steak standard) and not much seafood spread, other than fried shrimp tempura and cooked fish. There were many Korean and Taiwanese tour groups in the hotel, so the onsen crowd/vibe didn’t feel very Japanese

This hotel was way better than we expected. We booked a Japanese-style room facing the lake with half board and the price was very reasonable. I thought it’s an old hotel when booking the room and later found that the hotel had been renovated in recent years. I was surprised how nice the hotel looked when checking in. The bathhouse on the 8th floor was so pretty. You could enjoy an unobstructed view of the picturesque lake Toya while soaking in the hot springs. We’re there during the Fireworks Festival and were able to see the fireworks from our room. The dinner and breakfast buffets were so delicious with a lot of food choices. This hotel is definitely one of the highlights of our trip. I’d recommend it to anyone who plan to visit Toyako.

Lake view room
Beautiful accom by lake Toya with gd view. However I’m extremely disappointed to be assigned a level 1 room despite booking a room with lake view. How is staying at level 1 with lake view different from walking outside to view the lake? Was hoping to stay at higher floors but despite asking for change in room, hotel staff was unfriendly and rejected this request. No options were given and they didn’t ask for our preference actually. For paying the price of lake view but end up staying at level 1 didn’t feel worth the price. Hope that hotel can improve on this aspect.

The onsens were nice. The breakfast options and quality was lovely. The dinner quality was unexpectedly low. There are not a lot of options for meals outside of the property and those that were in town with odd hours. The sporting activities were mostly unavailable. For the respectful people in Japan felt bad for the disrespectful tourists that were at the hotel which disrupted our experience (cutting in food lines, leaving trash in the onsen, stealing slippers, loud, etc).

The view from the rooms are good, can see the firework show from the room. However, the air condition in the room was a bit weak. The dinner buffet as not good as the breakfast. If you are the person who loves the onsen, you need to plan well how to dry your towels. Hotel only give you a set of towel per person a day.

I love the location of the hotel, you can just walk out of the hotel and see Lake Toya right away. The ticket center for buying cruise tickets was also nearby. I love walking along the promenade of Lake Toya, it was so peaceful and beautiful. The daily fireworks was also great and viewable from our hotel. There were enough free parking lots at the hotel too, but carpark b was rather tricky to park as its situated on a slope. Its better to park at carpark a or c.

An Most Unimpressive Experience!
Been to Japan multiple times but this is the most unimpressive experience I ever had! We booked for 2 nights with Lakeview & only to be told by the lady staff, room booked with hotels.com are only allocated on 1st flr, anything higher requires to pay extra. When we tried to make her understand we booked way ahead in Feb with request for high flr, she offered to show us room on higher flr on other wing. To my surprise, the room looks dim & gloomy with dark furnishing, far diff from the Lakeview room we ve booked. We couldn’t rationale why room booked with hotels.com can only be allocated on 1st flr, it just don’t make any sense. This is neither indicated on the room selection on hotel’s page too. With her limited english, she even refused to allow another of her colleague who can speak English to attend to us! The entire ordeal took us almost an hour & all I can conclude is that she puts guest’s patience to test! An service oriented staff wouldn’t “waste” precious time of guests on holidays! End of the day, there was not even words of apologies from her & with our patience running dry, we took our meals vouchers without any directions of onsen & etc. I would love to visit Lake Toya again, but would not stay at this hotel for the “unpleasant experience” we had. Your staff genuinely requires training & counselling!

Crab dinner with no surprises!
We booked for dinner with crab for the 2nd night. To our surprise, it is also being served in the same buffet dining restaurant. It is disappointing as the hotel’s official site featured crab serving in another Japanese’s setting restaurant. Crab served is not worth the much extra we have paid! This is the normal buffet dinner + one crab & that’s all! Sashimi quality are disappointing too!

We have a lakeside room so the view is amazing. However, food is disappointing. Dinner we had crabs and it is NOT fresh, couldn’t even finish it. Dinner’s Buffett is also not tasty. Lots of foreigner big tours stay here and a lot of them are very loud while some are rude. The lady next to our table kept bad mouthing us in another language, thinking I don’t understand what she’s saying. Hot spring in the morning for ladies is on the B floor, it is pleasant but I will not stay here again.

Cation: Make sure to register all your people staying! Horrible check-in experience! I was about to be charged double the room rate since I forgot to register my companion in my booking. Why should I be charged double for the same room. We selected no meal option! We negotiated the additional cost down to $85 per night. What is very frustrating is that the price listed for 1 guest booking & 2 guests booking were the same on Expedia but still the hotel demanded additional cost!
