Way to Shirahige Falls from Sapporo in Dec 2018/6/27 19:47
Hi all,

I would like to seek advice on the optimal route to get to Shirahige Fall/Blue Pond from Sapporo in December as I do not own a car licence.

Thank you.

Last year Town of Biei operated sightseeing bus starting around JR Biei station for winter time.

It was on weekends and holoday only. I think public transportation is too inconvenient.

I think it is incomvenient too.

I check out Japanese travelling site. That says
To Shirahige Fall
Sapporo to JR Beei Station
and bus: 30 minutes(I am not sure how often that bus comes to the station. I feel it is few.)
Or a car 20 minutes
(I am not sure there are taxies enough and how much it is.)

Biei View Bus is handy. Otherwise, use a public bus. Five buses run a day. You may consider a bus pass for it. If you do not mind the time, the pass is valid all the way from Sapporo.

Biei hirer has two courses in winter.
Blue Pond course: the starting price is 9510 yen for 1 hour 30 minutes.

Patchwork no Oka course: the starting price is 6340 yen for 1 hour.

A rival plan is BIEI VIEW BUS.
The price is 2500 yen, but the bus runs only on weekends in December.
