If you have a car and you want to explore the surrounding tourist sites (Noboribetsu, Lake Toya and Showa Shinzan), this is perhaps the absolute most you'll get out of the value of your money. The place is situated right in front of the lake. You only need to cross the road and you have a shore all to yourself. Where else would you get that privilege? Amenities are complete and the rooms are in traditional Japanese style.
