Hakodate-Noboribetsu onsen by bus?

How can I go to Noboribetsu Onsen by bus or shuttle bus from Hakodate Station?

Because I want to start first day of JR Rail pass when I go back from Noboritsu onsen to Sapporo St.

My Plan in winter season 09

Tokyo - Hakodate by Air

Hakodate - Noboribetsu onsen - Sapporo ......

Please , Thanx

I don't think there are buses between Hakodate and Noboribetsu.

I don't know of a bus, either.

You can, of course, take the train--6190 yen basic fare. It's more expensive than a bus would be, if there were a bus, but allows you to save your rail pass for later.

Thank you so much

I think, I may change my plan a bit. -_-a

Noboribetsu's hot spring town is a 15 minute bus ride from Noboribetsu Station. There are one or two buses per hour, and the one way fare is 330 yen. The hot spring town itself is small and walkable.
