[2025 Toyako Hotels] Travel Guide for The Windsor Hotel TOYA,Vignette Collection (Updated Jul)

In my mind, the top Hokkaido vacation hotel is The Windsor Hotel Toya Resort & Spa (it also has a super cool name - the Floor-to-Ceiling Window Hotel, because the hotel is full of floor-to-ceiling windows 😎). The hotel is located on a mountain top by Lake Toya, with the sea on one side and Lake Toya on the other. No matter which direction you look, the scenery is breathtaking 🤩. The hotel's hot spring has an outdoor hot spring, and soaking in the hot spring on a snowy day is an amazing experience. There are plenty of restaurant options, including a Michelin-starred French restaurant and a Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant. Western-style breakfast is served at the Michelin-starred French restaurant, while Japanese-style breakfast is a traditional Japanese breakfast set. You can make a reservation for dinner at the front desk and pay when you check out. I recommend staying for two nights so you can try both types of breakfast. The outdoor hot spring alternates between men and women every day, so if you stay for two nights, both men and women in your party can experience the outdoor hot spring (if you only stay for one night, it's okay, the changeover is already done in the morning, so you can experience it in the morning 😉). It's also close to the ski resorts, about a 30-minute drive to Niseko and Rusutsu. There is also a shuttle bus at the JR station at Lake Toya, so you can take the JR to the hotel.

The view from the hotel is spectacular 🌃 I could see the sea of ​​clouds in the morning ☁️ The design inside the hotel is also very nice ✨ There are also various activities around the hotel 😊 At Lake Toya, you can watch the fireworks 🎇 from a night sightseeing boat ⛴ At the Silo Observatory, you can take a helicopter ride 🚁 #spectacularview #luxuryhotel #Hokkaido #fireworks #sightseeingboat #helicopter #horsebackriding #LakeToya #TheWindsorHotelToya #gw2022jp

Windsor Out of Africa When I decided to stay at the Windsor Hotel at Lake Toya, the first thing I wanted to do was book a reservation at this exclusive teppanyaki restaurant with stunning views of Lake Toya. I had already planned to book a lunch reservation because dinner would only offer a pitch-black view, which would be such a pity. 😌 On the day of our meal, it rained in the morning, and the fog made the entire mountain look like a blurry white canvas, as if we were looking through frosted glass. 🫣 I reassured my travel companion, saying, "Don't worry, once we sit down for the meal, the view will clear up." 🤭 Sure enough, as soon as we were seated, the fog lifted, revealing a crystal-clear blue sky and lake view. 😌 Thank you, Mother Nature, for your kindness! 🥹 Out of Africa Teppanyaki uses ingredients sourced from Hokkaido. I loved the chef's enthusiastic interaction, the perfect control of cooking temperatures, and the breathtaking panoramic view of the lake. If I ever get the chance, I would definitely come back to relive this wonderful experience. 🎈 Perhaps I was too relaxed during the vacation and made a silly mistake 🤪. When booking, the hotel required us to pre-select our menu (all four guests had to choose the same set menu). We opted for the most expensive ¥36,300 set, which included king crab, Ezo abalone, and two types of Hokkaido wagyu beef. The ingredients were excellent! Although the price was higher than expected, considering this is one of the few Michelin-starred teppanyaki restaurants with great reviews, and it happened to be my travel companion's birthday, I thought, "Let's splurge a little!" 😙 It wasn't until we settled the bill that we realized... ¥36,300 was the price for two people! 😆 My travel companion and I exclaimed that this meal was absolutely worth it! During the meal, we were seated in a private room facing Lake Toya. After the main course, we were taken to another space to enjoy dessert, which offered views of Uchiura Bay. 🥹 The scenery on this side was equally stunning. When staying at the Windsor Hotel, you can even choose a room with a view of your preferred landscape. Dining at this teppanyaki restaurant allows you to enjoy two different views in one experience—how delightful! 🎈😙 Hotel Name Windsor Out of Africa Hotel Location 〒049-5722 Hokkaido, Abuta District, Toyako Town, Shimizu 336, 11F Operating Hours 12:00 - 14:00 17:00 - 20:00 Reservation Required

#Sapporo Sakura Before leaving for Hokkaido, I spent all my time planning for the hot spring route and never thought that I could enjoy cherry blossoms here - after all, the peak cherry blossom season in Japan is April, and Hokkaido is most famous for its hot springs! The result was an unexpected success. I came across a garden full of blooming cherry blossoms in Sapporo Nakajima Park. It was so beautiful that it was breathtaking! ✨ Key reason: Hokkaido is at a higher latitude, so cherry blossoms only reach their peak in early May. Instead, you can avoid the crowds and enjoy the flowers alone! 📍 Two great cherry blossom viewing locations Nakajima Park Stay at the Sapporo Park Hotel and you'll be right at the entrance, where cherry blossoms blend with classical fountains and Japanese gardens. A morning walk is like walking through a painting. Maruyama Park Directly accessible by subway, the park coincided with Japan's Golden Week in 2019, and the entire park was transformed into a "national barbecue paradise"! There were also celebrations on the day, it was so lively~ 🗺 Itinerary planning (2019 May Day Golden Week) Day 1｜Beijing→New Chitose Airport→Lake Toya (stay at Windsor Hotel) Day 2｜Lake Toya→Sapporo (stay around Nakajima Park) Day 3｜Sapporo→Otaru Canal→Sapporo Day 4｜One-day tour in Sapporo (cherry blossom viewing in Maruyama Park + city dining) Day 5｜Sapporo→Shanghai→Beijing 🚗 Transportation: Chartered car (Toyako Lake) + Subway/Walking (within Sapporo city) 💡 Key Tips A must-read for saving money: Taxis in Japan are super expensive, Sapporo has a wide subway network, so it’s recommended to buy a “One-Day Subway Ticket”! Flowering tips: Hokkaido cherry blossoms are at their peak in early May, so Nakajima Park and Maruyama Park are must-visits. Avoid the crowds: Although the Golden Week is busy, Maruyama Park will be crowded with people barbecuing. It is recommended to go to Nakajima Park in the morning to take pictures of the empty view! ✨ Postscript The original hot spring trip unexpectedly turned into a cherry blossom-themed trip. Hokkaido's spring cherry blossoms are low-key but stunning. If you're tired of the huge crowds in Kyoto and Tokyo, why not come to Sapporo and enjoy a "private" flower viewing experience!

#Japanese Hotel The 5-star Windsor Spa Resort Toyako in Hokkaido was the main venue for the 2008 G8 Summit, where all the leaders of the eight countries stayed. Nowadays, with the increase in Chinese guests (free travelers), it has become a veritable Internet celebrity hotel. It was not easy to see Chinese people here 7 years ago, and it is really not easy to see Japanese people now. However, I still like this place every time I come to Lake Toya, especially the hotel’s private ski resort is really great. The hotel enjoys a superior geographical location. No matter which room you stay in, you will either be looking at the Uchiura Bay sea view of the Pacific Ocean or the Toya Lake. It is not easy to find a second hotel with such a view in the whole of Japan. The Windsor Hotel Toyako is impeccable from the perspective of pure accommodation. But the only drawback is that the sound insulation of the guest room on the corridor side is extremely poor. It is easy to hear embarrassing noises when passing by other rooms early in the morning. The room does not include dinner, because I am used to most hot spring hotels in Hokkaido that include dinner. Maybe this is not a hot spring hotel in the strict sense, and hot springs are really not the selling point here. Especially in winter, I feel a little cold walking from the room to the hot spring pool, and the hot spring pool is very small. The hotel has a Michelin 2-star French restaurant, Japanese cuisine, and teppanyaki. I enjoyed teppanyaki twice in a row. The restaurant faces Lake Toya and has a great view. The last picture was taken in the room, with the view of Lake Toya outside the window. The most beautiful scenery in the south of Hokkaido is here, and Lake Toya, Mount Yotei, and Liushou are also within the field of vision. Note: All pictures were taken in the hotel or private areas of the hotel #Overseas Travel #Japan Travel #Japan Attractions #Japan Good Places #Japan Hotel #Hot Spring Hotel #Lake #Toya Lake #Hotel to Play #Cost-Effective Hotel #Hotel Accommodation #Hotel Recommendation #Hotel Experience Officer #Hokkaido Travel #Hokkaido Food
