It needs to be a hose specifically made for that installation.
You can try one of the auto parts stores, but your safest bet is the parts desk at a Toyota dealership.
In the meantime, if you have some duct tape, dry off the area and give it a couple of wraps around the site to get you around safer until you do get the replacement. But do it quickly, that's only intended to be a temporary repair.

If you are just talking about the radiator hose, then that is easy. Just ask the toyota dealer for the replacement part, and you'll probably need just a screwdriver to replace it. It's only held on by two clamps, one to the radiator, and one to the block.

do you mean the rubber hose from the radiator, or the metal tube from the engine to this hose? you can go to an auto parts store and get either, the rubber hose is about 10 minutes of work, the metal pipe is about 30 minutes.

Tow it don't drive, you may have already burnt a head gasket , take to reliable shop for proper diagnose and estimate or two to the dealer if it just a hose let pro repair it, it wont cost that much if just a hose
