Whether it is just going to the ski slopes, going to buy groceries, or making a day trip to Rusutsu Resort, Kiroro Resort, Otaru, Sapporo or even the Yuki Matsuri (Sapporo Snow Festival), having your own car opens up a lot of great possibilities.
The Niseko area is made up of several villages and ski areas, within just a few minutes drive of each other.
Due to snowy winter road conditions, it is recommended that only experienced snow drivers drive to or around Niseko-Hirafu during the winter season.
