Tōyako
8.2
Mid score (6-8)
Lake Toya (Tōyako) hosted the 2008 G8 Hokkaido Toyako Summit — the Windsor Hotel Tōyā on the crater rim was the summit venue and the resulting hotel infrastructure is genuinely high-end for a town of 10,000. The lake is a caldera filled with water, with four central islands, and the shoreline ryokan district offers one of Hokkaido's most developed onsen resort experiences. The Usu volcano and the Showa-Shinzan lava dome (which emerged from a farmer's field in 1943) are visible from the lake. International summit history means some older staff have genuine worldliness. Resort visitor demographics are more affluent and urban than typical Hokkaido towns. A stop, not a base.
