Good to know

Getting there without a car: Donan Bus runs from JR Toya Station to Toyako Onsen in about 20–25 minutes, and direct from Sapporo Ekimae Bus Terminal in about 2 hours 40 minutes (reservation required). Several hotels run their own buses: Nonokaze and Kohantei from JR Sapporo Station and New Chitose Airport, Manseikaku from Sapporo Station North Exit (¥1,100 one way), and Yutorelo and Toya Kanko from Toya Station. All of them must be booked ahead.
