It is very close to the "Motomachi" station, but not every Donan bus from Toya Station goes to Motomachi Station, so you need to ask. We got off at Toyako Terminal and walked to the hotel. The distance is not far, and we walked to the hotel quickly after seeing the scenery along the way.
The room was booked on the 7th floor with a lake view. As soon as I entered the room, I was moved. It felt like the room was on the lake. The floor-to-ceiling window was full of Toyako. The lake view was really beautiful, and there were skuas flying around. It was very comfortable to sit by the window and enjoy the lake view while making tea! We booked a one-night stay and two-night stay. Breakfast and dinner were buffets. The variety was OK and quite rich (excluding alcohol). Anyway, it was enough to eat.
The hotel's hot spring pools were not many and not big, because there were not many people, which was okay. After soaking, the skin on the body was smooth and comfortable.
If you want the hotel to help you book a bus to Sapporo the next day, you must do it before 5pm, otherwise the bus company will be off work and the hotel will not be able to help you make a phone reservation. You can only book it online (the steps are more complicated and you have to register as a member, but you can pay the fare with Alipay). The bus is much cheaper than the JR Hokuto Rapid Bus. The bus costs 2830 yen per person one way, and the Donan Bus transfer to JR costs about 6700 yen per person. The bus is at Motomachi Station and is a reservation system. If you don't have a reservation, you have to take your chances and it depends on the driver's mood, so it's best to make a reservation in advance.
