Public Coach (Sapporo City)

  • Information

    Enjoy a scenic ride between Sapporo City and the Niseko-Hirafu Welcome Center by public coach

    We highly recommend including time in Sapporo City as part of your travel itinerary to Niseko. Boasting culture, festivals, delicious food and fantastic souvenir shopping - Sapporo is a great location to explore during the winter. Take in the local sights as you travel through Hokkaido looking over the snow covered countryside.

    Guests who book their public coach transfer through Ki Niseko will automatically receive a complimentary pick-up from the Welcome Center.
