Welcome to Hikari no Uta

Situated 2 hours by car from Sapporo, the heart of Hokkaido,

and 1 hour and 20 minutes by car from New Chitose Airport,
the gateway to the sky, is Lake Toya.
With the most temperate climate in Hokkaido,

this region offers magnificent valley landscapes
that change with the seasons and the passage of time.

A place surrounded by vast, 56,000 ㎡ gardens
teeming with beautiful flowers and trees,
where the history and local landscape of Hokkaido resonate.
Here begins a kind of resort in Hokkaido based on the unique lifestyle of the north,
where you can feel the possibilities of Hokkaido's culture and nature.

Discover the magic
of nature

The beautifully blue Lake Toya is situated in a magnificent location surrounded by such mountains
as Mount Usuzan, Showa-Shinzan, and Mount Yotei.
The vast 42-km circumference of Lake Toya,
adjacent to Mount Usuzan and Uchiura Bay,
and only an hour's drive from the Niseko area,
is one of Hokkaido's leading resort areas and an ideal hub for future adventure tourism.

Stories passed down
in this land

The Lake Toya area, with the mildest climate in Hokkaido, has been inhabited since antiquity and has produced a diversity of art forms.
At the root of Hokkaido culture,
handed down from Jomon remains and the Ainu, is symbiosis with nature,
in which all natural phenomena are bestowed by the gods and return to the gods,
bringing us great insight and awe to this day.

Sculptures, woodblock prints, and paintings
depicting the world of the Ainu are found throughout the hotel.
Countless eye-catching works of art unexpectedly draw visitors into their universe and take them on a journey to the extraordinary.

A landscape
that lets you feel the earth

The vast 56,000 ㎡ grounds transform in summer into a garden that exudes the life force of nature in Hokkaido, while in winter, the entire area becomes a world of silvery white.
A photogenic field overlooking the shimmering surface of Lake Toya, Mount Yotei, Mount Showa-Shinzan, and Mount Usuzan from the top of the Tsukiyama area lets you feel the earth in your bones.

Lake Toya Tsuruga Resort Hikari no Uta was created as a hub for activities to experience the spirit of the unrivaled geopark
formed by the forests, seas, and springs of Lake Toya and Mount Usuzan.

The "Hikari-洸-" represents the energy momentum of water shining brightly, and the "Uta-謌-" represents the beautiful performance of the story.
The water-rich environment of Lake Toya and Uchiura Bay is a richly interwoven, shimmering world.

Through Hikari no Uta, we embody the immense value of Hokkaido's natural world and express the spirituality
that underlies the history and art cultivated throughout the region's long history.
We hope that this will contribute in some small way
to conveying the value of Hokkaido's Lake Toya area to the world, protecting it for the future,
while revitalizing the region and cultivating a sense of pride in being rooted here.
