Access to Niseko
Niseko is around 2.5 hours by bus from both Sapporo and New Chitose Airport(CTS).
While renting a car is great for enjoying scenic drives during summer, we strongly recommend taking the bus or train in winter unless you’re experienced with snow driving – Hokkaido’s winter roads can be challenging and dangerous for visitors.⚠️
