Niseko to Sapporo transport

Hi all,

I was just wondering if anyone could help me with my queries. I am looking to catch a Whiteliner bus from Chitose Airport to Niseko (Hirafu). Is there only one stop in Hirafu? Does anyone know how far this stop is from Youtei Tracks Apartments which is located near Demo Ski School?

Also, the bus from Niseko to Sapporo City stops at several hotels which can be found here: http://www.goodsports.co.jp/eng/bus/sapporo.html. I am staying at the Comfort Hotel in Sapporo. Do you know which hotel is closest to the Comfort Hotel.

Thanking you in advance :)

Is there only one stop in Hirafu?

Yes, it seems to stop only at the Hirafu parking lot #1.

Does anyone know how far this stop is from Youtei Tracks Apartments which is located near Demo Ski School?

It is only a short walk away:

The Sapporo Prince Hotel is only about 200 meters away.

Thanks Uji!

Do you know what the quickest bus from Hirafu to Sapporo is. The Whiteliner departs 10am and arrives 2.30pm.

Hi Uji

Those are the times from Sapporo to Niseko. I am looking for the reverse direction. I tried looking on the Chuo and Donan but it is in Japanese and I cannot read it.

which site are you refering to?

Hi

The two sites were:
http://www.chuo-bus.co.jp/

and

http://www.donanbus.co.jp/

I'm not sure where else I can find a timetable.

Or is it not necessary to book. Should i just turn up to the counter when I am in Niseko and purchase a ticket.

I found a English site for you, their japanese site is sort of outdated.

I think you may need to reserve or buy a ticket so you'll have a seat.

Thank you guys!! You've certainly helped me in organising my trip.

Cheers!

How can we reserve the ticket on the internet?

Only the Whitliner bus has an English website:

For the other companies, you will have to phone (see website).
