To/From TokyoTo/From SapporoTo/From Shin-Chitose AirportTo/From HakodateTo/From Noboribetsu How to travel between Lake Toya and Tokyo By air The fastest way to access Lake Toya from Tokyo is by plane via Sapporo's Shin-Chitose Airport: 1) How to get from Tokyo to Shin-Chitose Airport 2) How to get from Shin-Chitose Airport to Lake Toya By daytime trains Take a Hayate train on the JR Tohoku Shinkansen from Tokyo to Shin-Aomori (3.5 hours). Then, take the JR Hakucho limited express to Hakodate (2 hours) and finally the JR Hokuto limited express to Toya Station (2 hours). The entire one way trip costs about 21,500 yen, takes around eight hours and is fully covered by the Japan Rail Pass. Note that seat reservations are mandatory on Hayate trains between Tokyo and Shin-Aomori. By night train One or two night trains operate daily between Tokyo's Ueno Station and Sapporo in each direction, stopping at Toya Station along the way. Regular one way fares start around 24,000 yen for the most basic type of berth. Note that Japan Rail Pass holders have to pay a surcharge of at least 12,000 yen (14,500 yen from December 4, 2010) to ride a night train between Tokyo and Toya. View our night train information page for more details. Above fees and schedules are subject to change. For the current Yen exchange rate, click here. Orientation The lakeside hot spring resort of Toyako Onsen at the foot of Mount Usu is where you will find most of the area's hotels and shops, a visitor center, the sightseeing boat pier and the bus terminal. Toyako Onsen bus terminal is served by both the local buses to JR Toya Station (15 minutes, 320 yen, one bus/hour, stops near Usuzan West Crater along the way) and Usuzan Ropeway (15 minutes, 330 yen, four buses/day, no service in winter), as well as by long-distance buses to Sapporo and other destinations. Due to the infrequent bus connections inside the park and the absence of a public transport connection to nearby Lake Shikotsu, a rental car is the recommended means of transport for exploring Shikotsu-Toya National Park.
