Nestled conveniently in Hokkaido\u2019s southwest corner, Niseko finds itself just 100 kilometres southwest of Sapporo, Japan\u2019s fifth-largest city, and 130 kilometres west of Hokkaido\u2019s New Chitose Airport. Multiple transportation options like buses, trains, and roads connect to the region. Ferries also operate from Honshu to Otaru, Tomakomai, Muroran, and Hakodate, with Hakodate just a 3 hours 40-minute ferry ride from Aomori.<\/p>\n

Arriving and Travelling Around Niseko [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.21.4″ z_index_tablet=”500″]<\/p>\n The most practical route to Niseko involves flying to New Chitose Airport and hopping on a bus\/coach straight to the \u201cHirafu Welcome Center.\u201d Buses run regularly throughout winter however, it is important to note that buses from New Chitose Airport to Niseko are only available during the Winter season, and there are no convenient direct buses during the rest of the year (April to November). Buses to Niseko are also available from Sapporo Station, and reservations are not required. For those visiting Niseko between April and November and not using a car, the easiest and quickest way to get to Niseko is to take a train to Kutchan Station from the airport.<\/p>\n Travelling to Niseko by car offers a swift and hassle-free experience, particularly as having a vehicle makes exploring Niseko much easier. Two primary routes connect Sapporo to Niseko: the highway route and the Nakayamatoge route which traverses through the mountains. For those coming from Sapporo City, the Nakayamatoge route is a recommended choice. On the other hand, the Lake Shikotsu route is optimal for travellers arriving from New Chitose Airport due to its shorter distance. It\u2019s worth noting that the area around Lake Shikotsu is home to numerous Ezo (Hokkaido) deer, increasing the likelihood of encountering them while driving. Therefore, exercising caution to avoid any collisions with these creatures is advised.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.21.4″ z_index_tablet=”500″]<\/p>\n Airport Shuttle [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.21.4″ z_index_tablet=”500″]<\/p>\n Our airport shuttle is a convenient option that provides great value for transportation between New Chitose Airport and Niseko-Hirafu Welcome Center.
