Noguchi Kanko Management Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Toyako Onsen 7-8, Toya Lake Town, Abuta District, Hokkaido; Managing Director and General Manager: 佐原誠), the operator of BOUROU LAKE TOYA, has launched a new in-house stay experience at the property. The initiative reflects the hotel’s concept of "awai" and is presented as an in-house presentation called "Awai in the Sky" so guests can more deeply enjoy the "awai time" as the day transitions into night.
At Toyako, it is said that the sky and lake colors change most beautifully during the approximately 60 minutes before sunset. From the rooftop terrace and the fire pit terrace, guests can feel this special time in person at various locations throughout the hotel, not only in guest rooms, and enjoy the "sky colors only possible at this hotel."
As part of guiding guests into this "Awai in the Sky" period, an hourglass placed in the lounge starts moving quietly. The time during which the sand is falling is defined as the start of the "awai in the sky" moment.
By spending time indoors and calmly absorbing the shifting expressions of the sky and lake, the stay itself is designed to become part of the experience. BOUROU LAKE TOYA will continue to offer a unique staying experience in harmony with the nature of Toyako and create special moments for every guest. We invite you to enjoy the time of "Awai in the Sky," when the sky and lake at Toyako blend most beautifully, as a quiet break from everyday life.
