Bus - How To Catch
This is the recommended method of getting to Niseko from the airport. The bus leaves directly from the airport and drops you in the middle of Niseko Grand Hirafu village (Hirafu Welcome Centre) where you can call us to come and pick you up.
Buses must be pre-booked more than 9 days before your stay to ensure a spot on the bus and lodge transfer on arrival. Please view our Bus – How to Book page for more details.
