Children grow up so quickly. I was able to do things that I couldn't do a few days ago, and I remembered new words before I knew it. I want to create various experiences and fun memories because it's a time when I'm growing by absorbing various things every day. In that case, we recommend a trip where you can encounter an environment that is completely different from your everyday life. The sights you see for the first time, the food unique to the area, and the exciting experiences will surely bring a smile to your child's face.
If you're not sure where to go when traveling with children, it's best to go to a place where not only the children but also mom and dad can refresh. Therefore, we recommend the ``Lake Toya'' area in Hokkaido. Beautiful scenery created by the highly transparent lake and surrounding mountains... Lake Toya, where you can experience the majesty of nature, is perfect for traveling with children. There are plenty of spots that the whole family can enjoy, such as the Mt. Usu Ropeway, where small children can ride together, and the Lake Toya Kisen, where you can land on an island in the middle of the lake! At night, soaking in a high-quality onsen will soothe your daily fatigue.
Once you have decided on your destination, the next important step is choosing where to stay. Is it OK for children to stay? Or is there a children's amenity or a playground for kids? What about meal? There are so many things to think about. So, to make it easier for moms and dads to choose, we have selected accommodations that are child-friendly, such as hotels with Japanese-style rooms and private baths, kids rooms, and children's menus. If you stay at a hotel located along Lake Toya, you may be able to see fireworks for a limited time from your room. Find a hotel or ryokan that suits your family and go on a fun trip♪

There are various types of rooms, but if you are traveling with children, we recommend a Japanese-style room or a modern Japanese-Western room. The beds in this modern Western room are movable, so you can push them together to make a larger bed. This also prevents them from falling, so you can sleep peacefully. Relax and enjoy the view of Lake Toya while feeling the comfort of the Ryukyu tatami mats. The hotel also sells disposable diapers, baby wipes, milk, and children's toothbrushes at the shop. Reduce the amount of luggage you need to bring and enjoy a light stay.
