The Lakeview TOYA Nonokaze Resort

After about two and a half years, we used the "No no Kaze Club Plan" for a 1-night, 2-day stay. At check-in, we were warmly greeted with "Welcome back," which deeply moved us (even though we knew repeat guests are always welcomed this way). The hotel and room were warm, very comfortable, and incredibly relaxing. The meals were outstanding, making a Multiple Night Stay essential to fully enjoy them. The large public bath was not crowded, and the "Showa no Yu" was almost like having it all to ourselves. This is a spa resort hotel that can be enjoyed by couples, friends, families—everyone!

As I was traveling with my 92-year-old father, we chose the kaiseki dinner instead of the buffet in the evening. We were able to relax, and the meal was delicious, with plenty of locally sourced ingredients.The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of options and was very tasty, including freshly pressed apple juice and Caesar salad. When we left, the staff waved enthusiastically to see us off, which really moved me.The bath was spacious and nice, but when I went in during the evening, for some reason it was so steamy that I couldn’t see ahead clearly, which felt a bit scary.
