Hotel is owned n run by an old lady who is vy it nd, warm n helpful.
Location of hotel is fantastically good, just opposite to the Lake Toya. Can just cross the road n go to lake side to see the beautiful views of lake toya n walk around the lake with proper path. Scenary is so spectacular. It's vy windy n relaxed to be at the lake side
But Hotel Pension is a bit away from the central area of Toya Onsen. So coming to check in to the hotel needs to follow the following instructions: From Toya Station , have to take a Donan bus to Toya onsen bus terminal. Then from toya onsen bus terminal, take Shinzan Mount Usu ropeway Donan bus, tell the driver to stop at Sobetsu Danchi bus stop. Bus stop is just opposite to hotel. Or if u don't mind walking, u can walk from Toya onsen bus terminal to Hotel Pension. It takes about 15- 18 minutes. Good to use n follow this method. Bus is by hourly basis. Anyway, there's a direct bus service to take from Toya JR station to hotel Pension (muroran nline), but bus service is not frequent, only available 4 times a day.
Have booked hotel with breakfast. Vy good n yummy local Japanese food provided. Very worth the value. Hotel's restaurant has great view, just facing directly the Lake Toya.
From hotel Pension, if hv enough time, it's great to visit mount Shinzan n mountain usu ropeway. It's near to hotel. There's bus service directly from hotel to mount usu ropeway. Need 3 to 4 hours to visit mount usu include bus journey.
