The White Liner arrives at the Hirafu Welcome Center, in the centre of Niseko Grand Hirafu. Many hotels and lodges are a few minutes away on foot.
Please note: distances above are straight-line estimates from the Welcome Center. Hirafu is built on a slope and streets are snow-covered in winter, so allow extra time — and more if you are carrying ski bags.
These are some of the larger properties in Hirafu. If your accommodation is not listed, it is very likely still within the village — Hirafu is compact, and almost everything sits within about 1.5 km of the Welcome Center. Many properties also run their own shuttle; ask your accommodation when you book.
Buses do not depart from the international terminal. If you arrive on an international flight, walk through the connecting corridor to the domestic terminal (about 10–15 minutes).
From International Flight Arrival to Bus Boarding
For customers arriving on international flights, please ensure you allow at least 90 minutes for your connection time when booking the bus. We recommend taking the following steps into account and booking with ample time:
Please be aware that during busy periods, immigration and baggage collection may take a long time, so we advise booking with sufficient time.
To access the White Liner Domestic Tour Desk Counter (1F Arrival Lobby), please use the escalator or elevator marked with a ○ on the map (located between Departure Gates C and D). Note: The escalator/elevator marked with an X (in the Center Plaza) does not provide direct access.
