Went to Lake Toya for a day return trip. It’s very beautiful and there are some nice hotels there. The boat cruise on the lake is a must do activity. You can get off the boat at the central island, hike around for several hours and visit the natural museum there, before hopping on the next boat for the return trip.

There is a firework show over the lake in the evening; but it was too late for my return train so I didn’t see it.

A small town with a beautiful lake that i would not mind spending my whole day in.. the view was excellent and the vibes is very good .. public transportation is available but the timing is a bit far..so plan your visit here carefully if you are not using tour provider

Very nice view and there is a super chill vibe over there. You can enjoy the free footbath or also stay in the onsen hotel for relaxing experience. During winter time there is nothing much to do but summer time you can trekking and cycling around the lake. Summer time they also have a 20 to 25 mins fireworks daily. You can enjoy the fireworks and onsen together or maybe to join their fireworks night cruise.

This is one of the most beautiful place near Sapporo. Outstanding views. You can also rent boats and enjoy the boat riding.

Pit stop along the way to sapporo during winter in feb. The lake is so vast and amazing with a small island in the center. This lake doesnt freeze over during winter. There is a rope way to the top and a free visitor center of sorts to view the history of this area. In the town there is also a bear zoo to view the bears. Overall a good stop over for photos and a lunch break.

There are many inns where you can see Lake Toya from the open-air bath, so it is recommended to stay at one of these. Long-run fireworks displays are held every day from May to Oct in the Toyako Onsen Hot Spring town area. Lake Toya where Popular resort area centered on a caldera lake with islands, boat tours & hot-spring baths. Stay at Zekkei No Yuyado Toya Kohantei to get spectacular view of Toya Lake. Enjoy during the Spring 6 May where the 42th Long Run Fireworks Festival, a large flowered fireworks come out in the sky of Lake Toya for 20 minutes from 20.45 to 21.05

Toya Lake is the place that you can enjoy many onsen or hotel which located next of the Lake. So, if you stay there even for one night you will see amazing scenery in nearby.
You also can go to a little island located in the middle of Lake by Cruise 🚢 there.

If you plan to enjoy this place in Summer, I highly recommend trying all of summer activities like Kayak, Canoe 🛶 etc.
Then for complete your holiday don’t forget to ride a cruise 🚢 when the dark comes up. There is fireworks 💥 event that held every day in summer time until October around 8:45 PM for 20 minutes.

The fireworks 💥 doesn’t comes out from the land but from boat 🚣‍♀ in the middle of Lake. Then the boat will be moved every some minutes to another places Or go to front another hotel.
Make sure to ride the cruise if you want to enjoy as long as fire up.

Amazing place to visit with your family or just retire to enjoy of a quiet time. They have great onzen over there with mesmerizing views. Also, they have fireworks every night during summer. Most of the hotels are of great quality and spectacular service.

We decided to stop at Toya during our trip from Sapporo to Hakodate. Toya is around 2 hours from Sapporo. From Toya Station, we took the bus to Lake Toya, you can purchased the return bus ticket inside the train station. We got off at the Lake Toya Tourism Centre, and the lake is just in front of the building.
The scenery is beautiful and serene.

Great food and views and fabulous onsen everywhere a nice place to visit when you are in Hokkaido.

Unluckily, we stayed here on bad weather, it was very cloudy, so we couldnt see the mountains.
The lake was quite and good for walking.
At night we could enjoy fireworks from our hotel room

A very peaceful and quiet place where you can spend time thinking walk along the lake by yourself or with you love ones. A place worth visiting and revisiting if you want to escape from the daily busy bustling city lifestyle

What an incredible place in Hokkaido. Went to Lake Toya for a 4-day trip and I can say that this place is one of the most amazing places I've ever been to. Far away from really anything, the town surrounding Lake Toya is quiet while the nature surrounding it is simply breath-taking. The lake itself is super clear and clean. Can't recommend this place enough.

Such a beautiful, mesmerizing, and a dreamy huge lake in Hokkaido! Interestingly, Lake Toya was formed approximately 110,000 years ago during a volcanic eruption.

The lake and its surroundings were so peaceful and tranquil. It is a perfect place for anyone who is looking for a relaxing and quiet vacation. There are also hotels and resorts around the lake with balcony views facing this picturesque lake.

Highly recommended to spend a night or two around Lake Toya to enjoy the beautiful nature of this place.

Great scenery. You can walk around the lake and enjoy its breeze. Some shops and a art gallery there. Heard there are boats to see the island that's in the lake but it's winter when I went so it's closed =(
