WE Hotel Toya

view and villa was spectacular, but their service waqs poor, lack of staff and inflexibility. the rooms also have sink bugs (we killed 3) around so pest control is needed. the villa was luxurious but the villa is away from the main building so villa guest are on their own pretty much with zero support. the onsen is also in main building so u have to drive to get there or walk in the snow. veryall value for money (given its 1000$ USD a night...im not sure its value for money is there...maybe 600USD / night more like it.

Amazing hotel, great room the private tub is magical. Highly recommend the half board dinner was delicious! Staff was amazing. We would come back again.

Clean room, beautiful view

For the price point of this hotel, the food was sub par.

I’m very disappointed with this hotel. Both dinner and breakfast were poor in quality and taste — definitely not worth the price for one night. In addition, the service attitude was bad. The staff simply placed the food on the table without explaining what it was, and didn’t say a single word throughout the whole meal. Is this really the standard of service in the hotel? Not recommended!!

Great view, super comfortable during quiet period. We will for sure come back again!

Amazing view, friendly staff, peaceful

The hotel looks absolutely stunning, the window is beautiful, you can see the whole lake view. It looks like a painting. The food is amazing, I told the hotel that I don’t eat fish and they were able to offer me alternatives. There is one outdoor onsen and one indoor, both are stunning. But, as an onsen hotel, there is not much to do within the hotel nor around the hotel. I didn’t know there is Omakase option until the day I leave, I hope the staff told me about it.

Have some of the most amazing and tranquil views imaginable of the lake. This hotel is away from the main town but offers a shuttle several times through the day and it is only a 10 minute ride highly recommend taking a ferry to the island in the middle of Lake Toya. The beds were super comfortable, and the food was traditional Japanese, which is not my favorite, but was good quality and generous. The staff were very friendly, but English was somewhat difficult for them. This was a great location to beat the heat that we had experienced in Tokyo and Kyoto, as it was unusually hot for June this visit we hiked around the island circumference which took about 2 1/2 hours. The water was really nice and I could see swimming there, but we just didn’t bring bathing suits. We learned from our relatives who live here that you can get pretty good food from 711 like these rice, seaweed wraps and things like that and green tea so those are perfect snacks to have for lunch or too tied one over Between meals. The shuttle stops right at the 711 so that is convenient. I know it sounds ridiculous to Americans, but the 711 in Japan is a lot better than America.

Thanks for a very relaxing holiday and stay.

5 star all around except limited dinning options

You need a transport to get around. There is only 1 small resturant within walking distance if you are not planning to have all yoir meals in the hotel. The nearest dining area is about 20mins drive from the hotel. Oversall it is a very beautiful hotel with large space.

We stayed at the WE Toya as our home base for a Rusutsu ski trip. It was fabulous. The onsen was so lovely and the staff were friendly and helpful. We never ate at the restaurant for dinner, but the breakfast buffet was super. The rooms are very large and the one time the onsen was closed for cleaning, we used the balcony tub and it was delightful. We would definitely stay here again!

We liked the cleanliness, the friendly staff, and views from the onsen to the lake.

I didn’t know the hotel provides shuttle services.

Stayed in the hotel for 2 nights (2 rooms) in July. Pro: beautiful hotel, great views, good breakfast (didn’t eat dinner there as the menu is not to our liking) Con: as mentioned by other guests, the room is only suitable for couples. There is no hanging rack in the shower room so there is no way to dry and dress yourself without ‘exposing’ yourself. Fortunately we read the reviews and brought our own hooks to stick to the shower room wall. A simple permanent fix and i don’t understand why can’t the hotel do something about it. The design of the basin tap is also quite stupid. The tap is so close to the bottom of the sink that you even have to tilt the glass to fill water. The nearest convenient store is a 5 mins drive away. But it is up slope and very dark at night. Fortunately we are driving so not an issue. But will be a pain if going on public transport.

Nice view

Great hotel with great view and service! Unfortunately the location isn’t that great, about 15-30mins drive away from the main attractions. Staff were amazing though! Go all way out to fulfil our meals needs. 5 stars for the front desk and kitchen staff!

This onsen hotel is not in the main area on the southern shore of Lake Toya. It is associate with a small sleepy village with limited tourist infrastructure support. But the hotel itself does pretty much everything and it seems very new (probably built or refitted and renovated well after 2010). They have a decent shuttle service between themselves, the main onsen area on the south side of Lake Toya, and the Lake Toya JR Hokkaido train station. Their included breakfast is pretty good and high quality. I actually didn’t try dinner there and realized I probably should have and it was the best option certainly for the area. The onsen area is quite modern with a nice outdoor pool looking out on to nature. In addition all room have an outdoor balcony hot tub. So in a way you really don’t need to go to the onsen. I went to the onsen around 6-7 am and I was the only one there. It seems like I was traveling during the off season and it seems like most tourists didn’t really know about this area of Lake Toya and the hotel. It was so serene being in the outdoor pool onsen as well as the balcony hot tub. Quiet sleepy village, few tourists, few cars making the trip around the lake. I can’t imagine it being better (or it must worse), in the busier onsen area or southern region of Lake Toya.

Helpful and friendly staff with excellent services. Spacious room with beautiful lake scenery. But far from where firework taking place. No hot spring but just hot water inside the room.
