Best Sobetsu Hotels

"This is an older hotel right on Lake Toya, with a great location and a grand lobby built in the 1960s. The restaurant and rooms also boast unbeatable lake views. Soaking in the open-air onsen while it snows, watching the lake and mountains through the snowflakes and mist, made for a truly serene and relaxing experience. That night, there was also a Lake Toya fireworks festival, with music perfectly synchronized to the fireworks – it felt surreal and incredibly beautiful. The half-board option offers excellent value for money. Just a heads up: the rooms are a bit older, but it's a minor detail that doesn't detract from the overall experience."

"Absolutely gorgeous resort! Loved everything about it - the service, the ambience, the food, the views from the room. We had French for dinner with options to add items (including Japanese seafood) and the quality is superb. The large public bath is nice too. If I were to make a suggestion, their outdoor Onsen can be made bigger and nicer for sure. Overall it was a fantastic stay and we would love to be back!"

"I highly recommend this hotel! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the place is clean, and the owners are truly kind-hearted ❤️❤️. On my arrival yesterday morning, I stored my luggage there first. When I asked about the bus to the hot spring street, since it would take too long, the owner kindly drove me there himself. This morning, in my rush to catch the bus to the next city, I didn’t even realize I’d forgotten my iPad. The owner actually chased down the bus and returned it to me. I’m just so grateful!!! このホテルは本当におすすめです！雰囲気はとても温かく、清潔で、オーナーは本当に親切です❤️❤️。昨日の朝、到着後に荷物を預け、その後温泉街行きのバスについて尋ねたところ、バスの到着が遅れるとのことでした。すると、オーナーがわざわざ車で温泉街まで送ってくださいました。今朝、次の都市に向かうため急いでバスに乗った際、iPadを忘れてしまったことに気づかなかったのですが、オーナーがバスを追いかけて、わざわざ届けてくれました。本当に感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです！！"

"This is the most satisfying house I have ever lived in Japan. No matter the size, facilities and environment are first class, there is a feeling of being in New Zealand. Environment: About 2 kilometers from Toya Lake Commercial Street, a little distance walk, very quiet, surrounded by scattered residential rooms. It was a little scared outside the house in the middle of the night. Service: Wanshi Pavilion takes the key, check out and put the key directly in the villa, check out at 10 o'clock is more troublesome Facilities: The information shows that it has been open for 23 years, but the facilities inside are obviously not new. Some years, but the maintenance is very good. The things used are very advanced. The sink in the kitchen is particularly good. Microwave oven, oven, tea set tableware induction cooker have everything, especially the whole hot spring, dressing room, There are showers, it feels like a holiday house designed by rich people for themselves, and later sold to Wanshige. Location: There is a convenience store 5 minutes walk. But if you are not driving, it is not recommended."

"Terrific stay, made easier because of the English speaking staff. We went to the (almost local) ski resort while we were here, which is about 50 minutes away. No complaints about this place, and today, as we're leaving, it's a glorious day that would have been nice to explore the lake area (it was a bit blizzardy for the last 2 days). Back to sapparo now on a bus which takes a couple of hours. Sol is recommended. Here's the onsen password in case you forget (men)."
