Sapporo to Niseko Bus: How to Get to Niseko
Where is Niseko?
Niseko is located in Hokkaido Japan, the powder capital of the world! There is a town called Niseko but the term “Niseko” is often used to refer to “Niseko United”, the four interconnected ski areas that have villages of corresponding names at their base: An’nupuri; Niseko Village (formerly Higashiyama); Hirafu; and Hanazono.
Niseko Resort is about 100 km southwest of Sapporo city and Sapporo New-Chitose airport, about a 2.5 hour drive away.
Hirafu is the largest of the Niseko villages, located about 8km from the town of Kutchan. Hanazono is about 9km from Kutchan. The town of Niseko is closer to Higashiyama (Niseko Village) and Annupuri, about 7-8km away from both ski villages. You can look at our Niseko map to get a feel for the location of the different villages.
Trains from Honshu to Niseko
A tunnel runs between Honshu (the main island of Japan) and Hokkaido, and trains between Shin-Aomori (at the northern tip of Honshu) and Kutchan take as little as 4.5 hours as the first part of the trip is a bullet train. It’s about 3 hours from Tokyo to Shin-Aomori by bullet train. See Hyperdia for train timetables and fares.

Getting Around Niseko
There are basically three options for getting around Niseko: shuttle bus, taxi and rental car.
If you're staying in Hirafu pretty much everything you need is within walking distance, but there are also free village shuttle buses. If you would like groceries or to head out of town at night, you might want to take a taxi. And if you're thinking ultra-mobility think about hiring a car.
1) RENTAL CAR
Renting a car is a great way to explore Niseko and surrounding areas. You just have to be ready to negotiate the snowy, icy roads.
Most importantly, you must have an international drivers permit in order to be able to rent a vehicle. There are several operators in Hirafu that provide this service.
2) SHUTTLE BUS
Shuttle buses connect the resorts and different areas of Niseko, including nearby Kutchan Town.
Some are free but most are included with in the cost of lift passes.
3) TAXI
Taxis are readily available, particularly in Hirafu and Niseko Village, and can be hailed on major streets.
Taxis cost around JPY Y2,500 for a 10-minute trip.
Drivers probably won't speak English and you'll need a business or place name and a map for where you are going.

Niseko Vlog 1 - Getting to Niseko
My first and second day in Niseko! It's my first time doing this thing called travel vlogging. I'm just using my iPhone 8 to capture these clips but will be using a camera that's meant for vlogging one of these days! I am currently staying at Shiki Niseko Serviced Residences and so far, so good! I really love how clean, spacious and efficient it is. Plus, I got a really nice view of the Mt. Yotei from my room! I definitely recommend this place! Please watch in HD and bear with me if there were parts in the video where I spoke in such a low voice. I was losing my voice due to flu. I'm okay now though. I'm currently living on antibiotics and (progesterone) steroids. :D
