Toyako Private Taxi Tour with Multiple Vehicles

Overview

Indulge in a tranquil and scenic journey around the stunning Lake Toya and its famous hot spring town with the convenience of a private sightseeing taxi. The Toyako Onsen area, part of the Shikotsu-Toya National Park, is celebrated for its spectacular natural beauty, clear lake waters, and therapeutic hot springs. A dedicated taxi service is the optimal way to fully explore the widely distributed viewing points and attractions.

Your private charter eliminates the hassle of local public transport, allowing you to seamlessly connect between lakeside hotels (like the Toyako Prince Hotel), day-use onsen facilities, local museums, and the dramatic volcanic scenery. Your knowledgeable driver will ensure comfortable transfers to the key viewpoints.

Whether you’re taking the Lake Toya Cruising boat to the islands, enjoying a delicious meal of fresh local seafood (like uni and scallops) or lake-caught rainbow trout, or driving up to the Toya National Park Silo Observation Deck for breathtaking panoramic views, your choice of the luxurious Toyota Alphard or the spacious Toyota Hiace guarantees a relaxed and elegant journey. This service is especially vital for enjoying the evening Long-Run Fireworks Display (late April to late October) from a perfect viewing spot.
