    1. I stayed at Toya Kanko Hotel on both of my visits to Lake Toya. It is a pretty old hotel, but I love the fact that it is pretty inexpensive (for a ryokan), plus the view of the rooms overlooks the lake. We usually take the bus (infrequent timings though) from Toya station to Lake Toya onsen town (which takes about 20-30mins journey) and then walk 5mins to Toya Kanko Hotel. On our way back to the station, we usually arrange with the hotel to have the hotel's free shuttle van to send us from the hotel to Toya station.

  2. HI! May I know if its possible to go from your hotel straight to the new chitose airport by public transport? Or does the hotel provide any free shuttle services? :)

    Thanks! :)

    1. Sorry Im not too sure, since we usually take train to Toyo station, then take bus to Lake Toya's onsen town. I'm not too familiar with bus routes in Hokkaido.
