The Toyako area is one of Hokkaido leading tourist spots. Lake Toya is relatively easy to access, taking about an hour and a half by car (if using the expressway) from New Chitose Airport. Lake Toya has an island floating in the middle, and when viewed from above, it looks like a donut. It is one of the top ten largest lakes in Japan, and is also known for its high-quality onsen. The scenery changes with the seasons, giving you a true sense of the workings of nature.
Whether you are traveling alone or traveling with girls, the highlight of your trip to Lake Toya is the spectacular open-air bath! You will feel a sense of unity with nature while your body warms up, giving you a deep healing effect. Enjoy the crystal clear waters of the lake and the refreshing breeze on your cheeks. This time, I would like to introduce recommended inns with open-air baths with spectacular views in the Lake Toya area.
