The cabin was very homely and cosy. Kaz was very friendly and warmly welcomed my family even though we arrived a little later than planned. We loved the view and the peaceful surroundings.

Though the weather wasn't great during our stay (very stormy), we felt right at home in this cabin. The host responded quickly when we had questions, and we had fun playing board games and looking at the collection of cool decorations. Plus, the...

Kaz was very accommodating when I requested for BBQ set at the last minute, and he provided it. He was very friendly and very welcoming. The cabin was very nice and cozy. I'd stay longer if I'm not pressed for time. I would definitely come and...

Loved the remote feeling but within view of the lake and fireworks. A lot of room for our family to eat a meal together and relax.

It’s very cozy and excellent for families. Location is amazing and view is fantastic. Kids played on the front yard in the snow and were able to go sledding even in the evening. Fire very cozy. Incredibly stylishly decorated. Ideal vacation spot.

The perfect vacation home in Lake Toya area. - For me, we don’t have to stay nearby the lake and look at the lake at all time. This house is 5 mins away from downtown located up on the hill, so you still can enjoy lake atmosphere. House is...

The area is beautiful and we had plans to do all sorts of things in the surrounding area, however, that particular day we got rained in. We've been traveling for over a week, so at this point we decided to just stay in and enjoy the cabin. It was...

Here’s the translation with a more relaxed tone: We are deeply in love with the natural beauty of Lake Toya, a true gem of Hokkaido. The scenery changes with the seasons, offering a tranquil and mesmerizing experience just by being there. Feeling a strong connection between this beautiful nature and people, we created TOYA KAIROU in 2018. Then, in 2024, we launched our second project, a guesthouse and event space called “SHIZEN TOYA.” What we aim to offer is something you can’t find in large hotels—a special experience that comes from personal connections. We spent years renovating, enjoying the process, and overcoming challenges along the way. We hope our guests can feel the “Joy” that came out of this journey. We’ve traveled through Europe, America, and Asia with just a backpack, staying in many different places. Those experiences shaped our vision to create a guesthouse from a traveler’s perspective, one that makes you think, “This is the kind of place I’ve been looking for.” We also offer unique, local tours that you won’t find in any guidebook. (Let’s discuss!)
Welcome to SHIZENTOYA! Host Profile Kazzyuki N (Kaz) Born in 1971, Hokkaido, Japan. Currently, my wife and two sons are studying abroad in the Philippines. Moved to Lake Toya in 2016, began running the lodging TOYA HOME KAIROU in 2018, and opened SHIZENTOYA in 2024. About SHIZENTOYA This small cabin, roughly 50 years old, has been gradually renovated over several years by the owner himself. This place is never truly “finished”—it continues to evolve with subtle changes even today. Many of the furnishings here are vintage or retro, creating a warm and relaxing atmosphere. The space is designed to feel inviting and comforting. The core concept of SHIZENTOYA is “experience.” Experiences are deeply personal and unique to each individual. We don’t offer pre-packaged experiences here. Instead, we hope to support you in creating your own unforgettable moments. What the Host Asks of Guests JOY and Respect
