Niseko's closest airport is Sapporo Chitose. Located about 40km south of Sapporo city, Chitose receives International and Domestic flights. From Chitose it is 2 hours (120km) by car or 3 hours by train to Niseko. See below for information on trains and directions for driving. Domestic flights in Japan are generally very expensive, so it would be wise to get a connecting flight straight to Chitose when booking your ticket. The train station is in the basement of the airport.
If you are already in Japan, an alternative to flying is to take a ferry. These are generally very comfortable and not at all crowded - and of course cheap! The journey from the north-west coast of Honshu takes between 18 and 31 hours, depending on where you sail from. Here is a guide to the basic one way fares for foot passengers with open tatami-room accomodation. Maizuru - Otaru 7,000yen (22 Hours) Niigata - Otaru 5,300yen (16 hours) Tsuruga - Otaru 8,500yen (23 Hours)Contact the Shin Nihon Kai Ferry Company for more information on 0134-22-6191. Please note that there are three train stations in Otaru. Most trains depart from "JR Otaru", which is about one hours walk from the ferry terminal. It is recommended that you take a taxi!
