Top LAKE TOYA Hotels & Resorts for 2025 and Beyond [LUXURY/MID-RANGE]
PLEASE READ BELOW BEFORE BOOKING
Lake Toya is a crater lake in Hokkaido, renowned for its scenic views. Situated not far from Niseko, it is an excellent destination to visit during a winter ski trip.
Reaching Lake Toya is relatively straightforward, with several transportation options available.
Many accommodations around Lake Toya offer shuttle bus services from major locations such as Sapporo, New Chitose Airport, Niseko, and Rusutsu. These services are often complimentary or available for a nominal fee. It’s advisable to book these transfers at least a week in advance to ensure availability.
Alternatively, you can take the JR Limited Express trains from Sapporo to Hakodate, alighting at Toya Station. From Toya Station, Donan Bus operates services to the Toyako Onsen bus terminal, which is approximately a 15-minute ride away.
Another option is to take direct bus from Sapporo to Toyako Onsen (service by Donan bus.)
Given the convenience and comfort, utilizing hotel shuttle services is often the most efficient way to reach Lake Toya, especially during the winter season when weather conditions can affect travel times.

ADDITIONAL TIPS:
1. It is highly recommended to book a room with breakfast at Toyako. Even though the Toyako town has some restaurants, only a few open in the morning. Consequently, the hotel’s breakfast may be the best option available.
2. As with many other destinations in Japan, most public onsens do not permit tattoos. If you wish to enjoy a hot spring experience, it’s best to book accommodations that offer private onsens for a more comfortable and relaxing soak.
