What to expect

Lake Toya is an unfrozen lake at the northern tip of Japan, and it does not freeze in winter. Cherry blossoms bloom by the lake in spring, fireworks are set off at night in summer, and the forests are full of colors in autumn. Come here to take a boat cruise on the lake and watch sika deer on the island in the lake. There are many hot spring hotels in the hot spring street on the south bank of the lake. Lake Toya is located in the southwest of Hokkaido. It is a volcanic lake with beautiful lake water all year round. There are many lovely sika deer living on the island in the middle of the lake, and there is a forest museum, which can be taken on a sightseeing boat. On the south bank of the lake, there are sightseeing spots such as Lake Toya Hot Spring, Yousu Volcano and Showa Shinzan, which are good places for leisure and vacation. You can take the Toya Lake cruise boat in the Toyako Hot Spring Street to enjoy the scenery of the lake and mountains. You can see the Yuju volcano and Showa Shinzan to the south, and when the weather is fine, you can see the Mount Yotei, which looks like Mount Fuji, to the north. The cruise ship will stop at the middle island of the lake. After going to the island, you will see a forest museum, which displays the rich natural and biological information in the area of Lake Toya. Walking along the promenade to the depths of Nakajima, you can see many sika deer, which are very cute. The island is closed in winter, but you can still take a boat tour of Lake Toya. On the northwest bank of Lake Toya, there is a Siro Observatory, which is a good place to watch and take pictures of the panoramic view of Lake Toya. There is also a volcano science museum on the hot spring street, which uses smoke, video and sound to reproduce the scene of the volcanic eruption in 1977 for the audience. On summer weekends, there is a fireworks festival at Lake Toya, where you can enjoy the romantic view of fireworks blooming above the lake. In winter, the hot spring street also has a bright starlight passage, which changes the theme every year, which is very suitable for lovers to take a walk.
