Incredible, incredible host! Probably the best hospitality during my trip in Japan, and that is saying something! Gave great recommendations for things to do, and even shared some local desserts with me one day. The hostel itself is super clean and cozy, good Wi-Fi!

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 travelers know there's 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 little more.

    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.

    The house owner is very kind and helpful. It’s a happy experience for me to live here these days. We had a good time playing guitar and singing together. The room is also very clean and smells very good. Here is the best place for backpackers traveling.

    the lake view from our room was exceptional and we could watch fireworks warmly from our room (may 2023). location of this property gives it an undeniable edge. also the price is cheap BUT you get what you pay for… ie. not very high quality accoms.
