Onsen with a Breathtaking View of Lake Tōya

Lake Toya is a must-visit destination in Hokkaido during winter. It not only boasts a magnificent scenery but also features one of the world`s most unique natural occurrences - its lake never freezes during winter. This is due to the stratovolcano, Mount Usu, around the lake. Very interesting isn't it? There are many things to do in Lake Toya, and the best decision we made was to go for Onsen. We have Onsen in Singapore but it's an entirely different experience to do it in winter. When temperature dips to sub zero, the cold never truly leaves you, regardless of the number of layers you wear. Onsen becomes a source of warmth, comfort and relief. We felt so so blessed then, the feeling was indescribable. Things to note: There are public and private Onsen. Strict rules must be followed at the public hot spring baths - tattoos, photography and the use of bath towels are prohibited. For private ones, there are no restrictions. We stayed at Toyako Manseikaku. It has the perfect view of the lake and a public Onsen. We also made frequent trips to their in-house café as the views from there are exceptional! Starting from SGD$200 per night, guests can enjoy their Onsen for free and complimentary buffet breakfast for two. If you prefer privacy, you can also book a private spa at Nonokaze Resort for just SGD$33 per 50 minutes. 1. Toyako Manseikaku Address - 21 Toyako Onsen, Toyako-cho, Abuta-gun, Hokkaido Getting there - Sapporo Station ⇔ Hotel Shuttle Bus [Express Toya] (1,100 yen per person for one way 2,200 yen per person round trip). Need to book in advance. 2. Nonokaze Resort Address - 29-1 Toyakoonsen, Toyako, Abuta District, Hokkaido Getting there - There is a hotel shuttle bus that operates to and from JR Sapporo and New Chitose Airport. It is free from JR Sapporo Station and costs 1000 yen one way from New Chitose Airport. Need to book in advance. #tripblazers #winter #laketoya #hokkaido

Strolling along Lake Toya

#celebratewithtrip Lake Toya was born more than 110,000 years ago following a huge volcanic eruption. We took our time for a relaxing long stroll along the lake. There are a lot of very nice modern sculptures along the way. Lake Toya (洞爺湖) is one of the best hot spring towns in Japan for budget travelers. The combination of many free hot spring facilities, cheap bus routes and some super cheap accommodation makes the place stand out from the others. #laketoya #friendstrip #hokkaido #2015

Horaiken Ramen

#celebratewithtrip Nice local ramen restaurant. We stopped by Lake Toya for lunch so we just tried this. They have the most common ramen on their menu. Simple, great flavors and good service. #laketoya #friendstrip #hokkaido #japan

Lake Hill Farm

#celebratewithtrip We randomly stopped by this gelato shop when we drove on the way back to Lake Toya. The gelato is super nice. I recommend this place if you have a chance to visit Hokkaido area especially Toya to enjoy the amazing beautiful scenery while eat some tasty Gelato Ice Cream. There are many kinds of various flavors Ice cream. So you can choose it whatever flavors what you wanted. In the season you can view many different Hokkaido flowers. #friendstrip #2015 #hokkaido #japan

One of the best ONSEN hotels near Lake Toya!

There is free shuttle bus service from Sapporo station to the hotel! The view from the rooms is just impeccable, breathtaking! They have indoor and outdoor ONSEN baths. They have so many different baths and they’re incredible. The beds are also very comfortable and the rooms are nice and clean. It’s really fun to experience soaking in ONSEN bath whilst it was snowing. I really love this stay! #onsenhotel

Around Lake Toya - flat view from lakeside . Easy to navigate around. every few hundreds meter you will find some interesting spot for pictures

Showa Shinzhan Bear ranch is a place to view many big brown bears. There are vending machines around the park where one can purchase to feed the bears. Not the friendliest animal that you can pat or touch, you will be able to watch their daily activity from top down view. I guess now the bears are more protected that letting them roaming outside . worth visiting if you are going to the Mount Usu next to it via Usuzan Ropeway as side trip.#bucketlistreboot

Stunning views from Lake Toya Nonokaze

Lake Toya is argubly the most scenic spa resort in Hokkaido. With its paranomic views of the scenic Lake Toya from the upscale hotel resort, its well worth splurging for a magical night here just to have a wonderful experience in Lake Toya, Japan. There are both Japanese and Western style rooms available at the resort and we chose the Western style room which comes with a king bed. If you choose the Japanese style, it comes with a futon bed. We booked a free shuttle from JR Sapporo Station to get to the hotel and it was relatively fuss free to get there. The hotel restaurant has wonderful views of Lake Toya as well while you dine from the restaurant, which is very relaxing. #createwithtrip
