“Great lakeside stay. Definitely good value. Excellent location.”
The location is right on the lakeside which was brilliant, with convenience stores nearby. The hostel is attached to an excellent cafe and curry restaurant. The sauna is a nice touch, though I didn't use it. The dorms and communal area were clean and comfortable. They have lockers in the powder room which is great. The towels and yukatas are free to use.

“The Toya hostel”
It's a small, quiet hostel with only 14 beds, only 4 minute walk to the bus station and 1 street from the lake. 7-11 and Seicomart are less than 10 minute walk as are restaurants and Onsens in hotels. There's also a small cafe at the hostel open for lunch and a kettle and microwave provided.

“Pleasant.”
The curry restaurant below the stay. The bunk a little wobbly however it is a shared facilities. So do expect noise is unavoidable. You have ample space to access your luggage. bear in mind the space of the staircase access. I enjoyed the small powder before entering the shower.

We loved absolutely everything, from the staff to the quality/cleanliness of the spaces and the room. The futons were very comfortable as well! And the hostel is only a small walk away from the lake/ferry/firework/onsens/ and the most delicious icecream. A bonus point is the restaurant of the hostel which makes amazing Hokkaido curry!

Everything is perfect! Except the toilet is a bit sparse! It is recommended to install a simpler disinfection spray in the bathroom. The staff is very friendly! There is a restaurant on the first floor
