You can make reservations:

1) at the bus terminals in Sapporo (Chuo Bus Terminal and JR Sapporo Station Bus Terminal).

2) by phone (011-231-0600) and then pick them up at one of the above mentioned bus terminals, but there might be no phone service in English

3) by internet, but it requires Japanese reading skills

4) at automatic machines at convenience stores nationwide (Lawson, Family Mart) that require Japanese reading skills, but if not too busy, a kind convenience staff member might be able to help

5) through travel agents nationwide, e.g. JTB

Thank Uji.
Can you send me the link for the internet booking?
We will try to resolve the japanese reading via google translate.

Do we need to make reservation for JR / Bus transport throughout for the below route:-

Train-Abashiri station to shiretoko Shari -return
Bus-Shiretoko Shari station to Utoro hot spring -Return
Train-Abashiri station to Kamikawa -One way
Bus-Kamikawa to Sounkyo -One way
Bus-Sounkyo to Asahikawa -One way
Train-Asahikawa to Furano -One way
Bus-Furano to New Furano Prince hotel ??
Bus-Furano to Sapporo -One way

Lastly, need guidance on how to reach New Furano Prince Hotel fr Furano station. any timetable? or, is there a bus service fr Asahikawa that could link directly to New Furano Prince hotel, around or after 1pm?

Sorry! I made a big mistake! It seems that it is not possible to make reservations for the bus between Furano and Sapporo. It seems to be fully unreserved, i.e. you just pay on board of the bus:

That is unlikely. Otherwise the company would operate more buses on the route.

Hi,

I cant seem to read the website. Can anyone tell me the timing of Chuo Bus from FURANO to SAPPORO?

Is it very easy to identify the place to board the bus? the boarding place is at JR Furano, am I right?

Im flying next week and appreciate prompt update. Thanks a million

The timetables for the buses from Furano to Sapporo are the last two tables on the following URL:
http://www.chuo-bus.co.jp/highway/course/furano/index.php

富良野駅前 refers to Furano Station
時計台前 refers to the clock tower in Sapporo
北2条西3丁目 is another bus stop in central Sapporo between Sapporo Station and Odori park
札幌駅前バスターミナル refers to the Sapporo Station Bus Terminal

The bus stop in front of Furano Station should be easy to find.
