Getting Around Niseko 

There are basically three options for getting around Niseko: shuttle bus, taxi and rental car.
If you're staying in Hirafu pretty much everything you need is within walking distance, but there are also free village shuttle buses. If you would like groceries or to head out of town at night, you might want to take a taxi. And if you're thinking ultra-mobility think about hiring a car.
1) RENTAL CAR
Renting a car is a great way to explore Niseko and surrounding areas. You just have to be ready to negotiate the snowy, icy roads.
Most importantly, you must have an international drivers permit in order to be able to rent a vehicle. There are several operators in Hirafu that provide this service.
2) SHUTTLE BUS
Shuttle buses connect the resorts and different areas of Niseko, including nearby Kutchan Town.
Some are free but most are included with in the cost of lift passes.
3) TAXI
Taxis are readily available, particularly in Hirafu and Niseko Village, and can be hailed on major streets.
Taxis cost around JPY Y2,500 for a 10-minute trip.
Drivers probably won't speak English and you'll need a business or place name and a map for where you are going.
