[2025 Toyako Hotels] Travel Guide for Toya-Onsen Hotel Hanabi (Updated Jul)

Lake Toya is one of the only two lakes in Hokkaido that never freeze over. The hotel we stayed at this time is located right next to the lake, and the rooms face Lake Toya. Waking up in the morning and opening the window to such a stunning view was truly breathtaking. You can also take a stroll along the nearby riverbank. There aren't many shops near the onsen hotel, but there is a unique black-colored 7-Eleven. This is part of the Japanese government's initiative to gradually implement changes in scenic areas, aiming to ensure neon lights don't disrupt the natural beauty of the surroundings. In the evening, the hotels in the area collaborate to launch fireworks together, creating an absolutely mesmerizing spectacle.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Before, every time I passed by this store when I came out of the hotel in the morning, it was closed! Always been curious! From a distance I thought it was 🚾hahaha It turns out that the business hours start at 15:00 and end at 21:00! What a character... Today's stroll finally led me to eat! Because it will explode soon! So wait a while. 500 yen per serving, The two of us had a taste and it was good! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside! Real chicken! No powder! And his sauce is delicious. The lake is just a few steps away from the store, where you can enjoy the lake view while eating fried chicken!

Inside the room, the perfect blend of Japanese and modern design was eye-catching; outside the window, the blue lake and distant snow-capped mountains complemented each other, stunningly beautiful. 🌅 🛁 Next, it was time for the long-awaited hot spring moment!
