Pension Ohno

The bus stop was right outside and there is a supermarket next door. Breakfast was delicious and the view was amazing. We felt very welcome! Fireworks both nights and we ventured in a 4.5k walk just behind the property. And as for the onsen…. Perfect!!!!

We needed the supermarket as there was no dinner available - too late in the season I suspect.

Host was very friendly, both dinner and breakfast were delicious; building is on the older side but still very clean. Can see Lake Toya from the rooms, and can walk 3 minutes across the street to see the nighttime fireworks. Small onsen bath inside the pension.

Rooms are on the older side and sound proofing isn't great (but I think that's expected from an older property)

The view is amazing, with a full waterfront view. It overlooks Lake Toya, and we can enjoy tea or coffee looking at the lake from our rooms. Location is pretty good, in a quiet side of the town and next to the convenience store. The lady owner was really, really friendly and nice. Clean and somewhat comfortable. You can see the Toya fireworks from the carpark opposite the road. Note that the front desk lady will tell you it starts at 9pm -- be sure to do your own research, because when we were there, it started 8.45pm and ended by 9.03pm.

For the same price I could've gotten a hotel stay, or a mountain view stay with outdoor onsen. I chose this looking forward to home cooked food and a homely feel, but did not receive much of it. First, I felt that the description was a little misleading. It states "beef stew served for dinner", which misled me into thinking that dinner was included by default. Next, you can hear people watching TV or talking in the next room, or when people are walking along the hallway. It's pretty loud. The beds are fine, not the most comfortable but passable. For what it's worth, my dad developed back pain after sleeping on their beds (the only time in 2 weeks in Hokkaido), but it may not necessarily be due to the beds. With no breakfast or dinner included, and with only passable rooms and beds, the price really does not justify.

目の前湖畔で良かった
