Toya Gokirakutei  

On the edge of Lake Toya in Toyako — a compact ryokan steps from Toyako Onsen and the lakeside. Close to Lake Toya, Toyako Hot Spring, Shikotsu-Toya National Park and Mount Usu, it’s a handy base for crater walks, lake strolls and onsen-hopping.

Intimate property with 22 guestrooms that blend traditional onsen comforts and simple modern touches. Rooms come with LCD TVs, cable, safes, phones and electric kettles. Private bathrooms feature shower/tub combos and deep soaking bathtubs for proper onsen-style relaxation. Elevator access and on-site parking make arrivals easy.

On-site hot springs (onsen) and designated smoking areas set the tone. Expect in-room deep-soak tubs, complimentary toiletries, parking and elevator access. Wake up to lake-morning mist and be steps away from the shore.

Transfer services are available, and for a surcharge guests can use a 24-hour roundtrip airport shuttle and train station pick-up.
