Toyako Hotels with Parvekkeita

"My brief, one-night stay at Kohan Tei left me with mixed feelings. Stepping into the hotel, it was immediately clear that the property is quite dated; honestly, everything just looks worn out. This dated feel detracted from the experience, leaving the stunning lake view as the only true highlight—and even that is conditional on good weather, making it a bit hit-or-miss. The onsen was, unfortunately, a disappointment. The facility itself is small, and I found it inconvenient that they don't provide towels, requiring a trip back to the room. The biggest issue, however, was the outdoor bath: the water simply wasn't hot enough to truly relax in the cold winter air. On the positive side, I could see why the buffet dining is a big draw. Both breakfast and dinner seem popular, especially since they offer the fun option to do your own mini grill or hotpot. My only critique here is that the breakfast time felt relatively short—it was a definite rush to finish before the cutoff. Finally, the location is excellent for exploring. We enjoyed a lovely post-meal walk that stretches all the way to the ferry dock (about 3-4 km). It's a peaceful stroll with sculptures along the way, perfect for a photo or two. Overall, while the setting is beautiful, the hotel is truly due for a major renovation."

"Probably the world’s best hotel with impeccable service rendered by superb warm & ultra friendly professionals. We can behold the most awe-inspiring & panoramic view of Lake Toya ⛰️ right from the comfort of our hotel rooms, New haven of happiness discovered on earth 🌈 Most grateful to Ms Harada San (Front Office) 🩷🩵whom went beyond the extra mile 🛼🛼 to create wonders & innovate lasting beautiful memories 📸 for our 🎂 & wedding celebrations 🥂🍾 with her magical touches. WOW, it’s truly unforgettable for a lifetime 😘 This is definitely the best place which warms our hearts 💕 in Hokkaido Sapporo Lake Toya 🇯🇵 & we desired to call “home sweet home” 🏡 during an icy cool winter ⛄️❄️ 🧊 . Most impressive oishi & extensive buffet spread with succulent fresh seafood 🦞🪼🦀🐙🐠 & Hokkaido waygu beef 🥩🍖 for pampering indulgence. There’s even an onsen hot spring spa on site but we shy shy to use. Highly recommended, excellent job well done ✅"

"Lake facing.  Nice and serene view.  Rather old and dated.  Needs a refurbishment.  We had tatami mat room which takes a bit of getting used to for the tatami smell.  Big room. But very small toilet.  Could have made the toilet bigger and ditch the useless storage cupboard next to the door.  Beds need to be upgraded.  Old and mattress far too thin. Breakfast and dinner were so-so.  Only plus points are lake facing and cleanliness is acceptable.  Free carpark next to hotel."

"The biggest issue I have from the stay was that it was too short. The ryokan was awesome - very cosy and spacious for a double room. The place may be old, but certainly gives off the grandma’s place old but cosy vibes. Usage of the washing machine is free, and located just right outside the public bath. You can rest outside on the sofa after your bath while waiting for your laundry. The ryokan’s location is superb - walking distance to the nearest bus stop and to a bunch of convenience stores, drugstores and restaurants. As I was travelling during the long fireworks display period, the ryokan’s location is the best as the fireworks display is right behind it (or right in front of your window). The place may not be so well equipped like your typical hotel in the cities, but it’s definitely enough for simple travels. Would love to visit the place again"

"The service here is truly next level—warm, attentive, and consistently thoughtful throughout our stay. One absolute highlight was the 8-course dinner set. I highly recommend it to anyone staying here; if you visit even once, the 8-course experience is a must. Since there isn’t much around the area, choosing the hotel dinner is definitely the best option—and it’s worth it. The hotel itself is incredibly chill and relaxing, perfect for unwinding. They also provide a shuttle bus to nearby attractions, which makes getting around easy despite the quiet location. The views are beautiful, especially overlooking the surrounding nature, and every detail reflects top-notch service and genuine hospitality. Overall, a peaceful retreat with outstanding food, stunning views, and exceptional service. Highly recommended for anyone looking to relax and be well taken care of."

"The little house is very spacious. It could accommodate up to 8 guests and we enjoy the lake view very much."

"木の温もりを感じられる内観で、とても暖かく過ごしやすかったです。ベッドの寝心地も良く小さい子も落ちる心配のない低いベッドもありました。カメムシの対応に少し悩まされました。虫が苦手な方は注意です。"
