Niseko Circuit Bus: Time Schedule and Stops (Japanese)

The last bus leaves the Niseko Station from 21:10, drives around town, and comes back to the train station on 22:33.

Thanks to the last bus leaving so late, it is possible to enjoy a late-night dinner or hot spring downtown and still be able to go back to your hotel at the ski ground.

Use the bus to the fullest and get the best out of Niseko’s late-night experience.
