Toya Sun Palace Resort & Spa  

Perched on the shore of Lake Toya in Sobetsu, this lakefront resort sits about a 4-minute walk from Lake Toya and a short drive from Toyako Hot Spring. It’s a gateway to Shikotsu‑Toya National Park, Mount Usu and Showa‑shinzan, with Rusutsu and Niseko ski areas within easy driving distance. Family-friendly and ideal for onsen and nature escapes.

Over 300 air‑conditioned rooms offer season-to-season views of the lake and surrounding nature. Rooms include refrigerators, flat-screen TVs, private bathrooms with shower/tub combinations and bidets, plus safes and phones. Expect a lively resort vibe with game rooms and supervised kids’ play areas alongside relaxation spaces.

A full-service spa and a variety of indoor and outdoor baths and hot springs help you unwind. The resort’s aquapark features a big wave pool, waterslides and an indoor pool, while sauna and steam rooms add extra calm. You’ll also find an arcade/game room, gift shops and a nightclub — wake up to lake-breeze mornings and end the day in the onsen.

Onsite services include a 24-hour front desk with multilingual staff, luggage storage, free self-parking, elevator access and laundry/dry-cleaning. Complimentary wireless internet is available across the property.

Dine poolside at Palacio, which offers pool views, then grab a nightcap at the bar/lounge. The resort features two restaurants and serves buffet breakfast for a fee, making it easy to fuel up before exploring the lake and nearby attractions.
