The Lake Suite Ko No Sumika

Amazing, beautiful views, spacious room. Very new, highly recommend. Make sure you call ahead and tell them your check in time. I was able to do this on the day of. The person on the phone did not understand english well, but I was able to use google translator. Tell them that you booked through expedia or whatever service. The staff was amazing. They greet you at the front gate and help into the lobby area. Once in the lobby, there were staff members that did know english and where able to streamline everything. The room was very large with double sink bathroom, private onsen, yukatas to wear, beautiful balcony space and amazing view of Lake Toya and the surrounding area. This property was connected via internal walkway to the main building where dining takes place. If you opted for the meals you will be given vouchers for your room’s dinner and breakfast. Just go to the dining area and hand them the voucher, they will seat you and you’re ready to start eating. During dinner there’s a set menu already at the table and a self serve buffet featuring amazing local dishes including sushi, crab legs, seared beef, soup curry, and more. Probably over 3 dozen different options and dessert. Similarly for breakfast, there’s a buffet with items such as ikura, squid, hokkaido scallop, and dozens of other dishes. Theres also stations for chef made omelets and onigiri. Theres also fireworks every night on the lake, gift shops, arcade area, open onsen, and spa

Newly opened in August '19. New wing of Toya Sun Palace Resort. Rooms are spacious with own private Onsen bath and lovely view of lake. Will love to visit again

This hotel is absolutely gorgeous! The design is very modern, yet there are traditional Japanese aspects incorporated as well. Every room has a view of Lake Toya and you can also soak in the onsen while you look over the stunning view. The lounge area are filled with chairs over looking Lake Toya and the lounge also offer some free drinks and snacks during check in for all guests. The price tag is well worth for what's offered in the hotel. A couple of things which I think the hotel can improve on is the finer details found in other hotels/onsen. There was no tea prepared for us upon arrival to our room, though the lady that bought us to our room was pretty courteous while showing us the features of the room. Also, there is no luggage rack in the room, so we had to leave our luggage and bags on the floor or the couch which is not sanitary. They also have a public onsen on the 8th floor of the hotel as well as a tiny gym. Depending on your room package, your meals could either be inside the hotel restaurant or be a buffet at a restaurant at their parent hotel next to them, which is a short three minute walk over. There are four types of rooms at the hotel. First, there is the universal room which there is only one on each floor. There's also the corner rooms on both ends of a floor and the garden terrace room which is found only on the first floor. The last time is the terrace rooms which fill the rest of the hotel out.
