"I chose this hotel in Lake Toya specifically to enjoy the views from a high vantage point. On the way back, I planned to explore the Onsen Bus Center, essentially experiencing two different sides of Lake Toya.
**Facilities**: The hotel is a bit old, having been open for some time. Besides a few Michelin-starred restaurants, there's nothing else to eat on the mountain, so remember to bring some snacks. In winter, there's snowmobiling, and I imagine a ride around the hotel would be a lot of fun, but it wasn't open during my late November visit. I hope to try it next time!
**Service**: From the moment the shuttle bus driver met me at JR holding a sign, to the private transfer to the mountain hotel, and the warm welcome drinks from the attendant, everything was excellent. I also booked the Michelin-starred sushi, and the service there was absolutely superb (just as rumored, though the front desk staff's coldness did detract from the overall service).
**Onsen**: The hot springs were actually quite ordinary. They switch between male and female baths daily, and one time I got to experience the outdoor onsen (which wasn't particularly special either). However, the toiletries were L'Occitane (while the in-room ones were Blagvia), and I really loved the scent! The staff member I encountered also enthusiastically shared their own photos and videos of Mount Yotei and the sunrise, which were fantastic!"
