Toya Kohan Tei

Hotel is right next to Lake Toya and close to the vendors providing boat rides. There is a convenience store within walking distance from the hotel. There is parking available right across the street. The onsens available are spacious and clean. There is breakfast and dinner buffet with a wide variety of food available.

This is one amazing ryokan. Although not the easiest to get to, the stay was definitely worth it. First of all, the room was nice and clean and facing the lake, so we had a great relaxing view while drinking some tea. The small town is also quite nice, as we had a nice walk along the lake and had a good lunch at a burger joint nearby. Best of all (the main attractions) were the baths and the buffet dinner and lunch - sooooo many options and you will definitely eat until you explode. Definitely a highlight of my trip!

We had a tatami room with an amazing view of the lake. Everything had a nostalgic 80s feel, but it was in perfect condition and very, very clean. We especially loved the outdoor onsen under the falling snow, overlooking the lake—it was an unforgettable and truly relaxing experience. Both the breakfast and dinner buffets were excellent, offering a vast variety of local products that made each meal a highlight of the stay.

Service is good. Big selection of food at the buffet although the same each day. The onsen in the rooftop is beautiful and great location for the fireworks.

- Excellent onsen facilities on the roof of the hotel, with an absolutely exceptional view of the lake - worth the price alone. Definitely recommend paying extra for the lake-view room (especially since the view on the other side, with the old hotels is a bit sad) - Both the buffet for breakfast and the one for dinner were very good, huge variety of foods, both Japanese staples and quite a few international dishes. The one-person grill you could do at your own table with the famous Hokkaido lamb was especially fun. - The staff was polite and helpful - The rooms are a bit worn out, but very clean - also there was a rowdy group of teens down the hall, but we didn't hear anything while in the room. The room has free Wi-Fi, a tv, and a fridge and you can pick up amenities as you need them next to the front desk. The large sizes for the rental yukatas are especially appreciated!
