Travel Guide

The autumn colors were just starting to fade, but the view from the Ropeway was still spectacular. That small plug of lava outflow from many years before was smoking as evening set in. On the island of Hokkaido, Japan, Lake Toya area has beautiful scenery. #GreatOutdoors

The check in procedure is smooth and quick. The resort amenities and hotel ground is beautiful. Food wise, for dinner and breakfast is well presented but taste wise is just ok. It would be nice if the hotel offer 2 types of pillow as the one offered is too soft.
