Toya Kanko Hotel
7,7/10 Very Good - Based on 730 reviews
Bathed by the serenity of the shores of Lake Tōya, this ryokan invites you to an inner exploration through its hot springs nestled in the hollow of mystical caves and its outdoor baths open to the soothing horizon of the lake. The natural hot waters, mingled with the gentle caress of the breeze, offer a sanctuary for those seeking well-being. The stones of the sauna, the soothing whisper of the air, and the possibility of a private bath enchant every visitor into an intimate communion with the elements.
Overlooking the panorama of the lake, the pure and authentic Japanese-style rooms offer an ideal refuge for the soul. The tatami floor, the soft futons, and the delicate shades of the furniture invite you to slow down, to settle, to breathe. Every detail, from the yukata robes to the warm notes of the green tea prepared with care, is designed to recreate the balance and simplicity of a peaceful life in this ryokan at Lake Tōya.
Also renewing the enthusiasm of the senses, the on-site restaurant celebrates the richness of Japanese cuisine through a range of flavors, from nourishing breakfasts to refined dinners served with gestures respectful of traditions. Just steps away from the establishment, the village reveals local cafes and restaurants, each visit becoming a complementary sensory stop to the magic of the stay.
Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
6/10 Although its architecture mixes modern and traditional elements, the ambiance of the rooms retains an authentic charm. The cuisine is decent but lacks a bit of kaiseki refinement. The onsen offers a soothing experience, although they remain modest. The place maintains a pleasant and balanced atmosphere.
