Very friendly staff which made the stay worth it. They helped me with instructions on how to get to a specific place and held my luggage until I came back. The bed was very comfortable and the room was really nice! If only all hostels were like this!

A 10-minute drive from the Nishiyama Crater Walking Trail, Petit Hotel Koizumi offers simple accommodations with a loft area. Free private parking is available. It is a 15-minute drive from JR Toya Station and a 5-minute drive from Lake Toya.

The owner was waiting for us at the exact time we told him we'll arrive. We got sweets and discount tickets to onsen. I was amazed by that onsen hotel, Infinity rooftop pool, it was fantastic. We had a car, the lake and shops are in a 3 min drive. The hotel is quite old, but everything was good. Clean bed sheets, warm, bright, no smoke smell in the room, silent at night. We were travelling with a 1 year-old toddler, it was safe for her too. There is a loft in the room, we did not use it.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The staff are super friendly. The hostel is a short walk from the bus terminal, most of the restaurants and the lake. The room i booked is female only, but the toilet, bathroom and washing station are shared by everyone. The room is spacious and there is enough space for lugguages. The space is clean and they also provide free towels. The restaurant is located at the entrance of the hostel. The soup curry ia pretty good.

    Everything. This hotel comes with half board (breakfast & dinner). It was buffet style with an awesome mix of Japanese and western foods. I don’t know how but we got a special treat at the beginning of dinner. The staff were delightful. We got to wear a Yukuta. We skied at Rusutsu it was a 35mim drive but so worth it and much cheaper than Rusutsu. It felt very cultural.

    Keiko-san, the host, really made the place. Very hospitable and kind. Although it is not next to the lake, the town is small and everything is in walking distance. Especially the bus depot which is particularly handy when there for the ski season. Plenty of onsens to rejuvenate tired legs for such a quiet town too. A very social hostel with a cozy communal space to mingle with other travellers. Always warm and clean.

    A great location near the local restaurants, bars, hot springs, etc. The hosts were very accommodating and allowed me to store my bike inside the lobby. They were very friendly and recommended me some great places to eat and drink in the area. Overall, a chill place to stay if you're looking for a hostel. I was also the only guest in the hostel so it seemed like I had the place to myself.
