This place stole my heart, Lake Toya in Hokkaido 💙

#holidayitinerary

First time visiting Japan and I’ve been so excited for winter in Hokkaido! ❄️ After some research, I came across Lake Toya — a hidden gem that instantly caught my eye. Surrounded by mountains, snow-covered views, and peaceful lakeside onsen, it’s the perfect winter escape. 🏔️🛶

Getting there from Sapporo takes about 2 hours by train or bus, and the scenic ride alone is worth the trip — think rolling hills, snow-dusted trees, and quiet villages along the way. 🚆❄️

Lake Toya is calm, quiet, and absolutely stunning in winter. Whether it’s soaking in a hot spring with a lake view or just taking in the snowy silence, it’s a must-visit for anyone looking to slow down and enjoy Hokkaido’s winter beauty. 💙

🏨 Hotel: Toyako Manseikaku Hotel Lakeside Terrace
Features cozy clean rooms, amazing lake view, and a really good onsen – nothing like soaking in hot spring water while watching the snow fall. ✨
