Travel directly from Sapporo or ski from an onsen stay in Jozankei. Distinguish the Ski Liner, hotel transfers and city buses, and arrange the return.

Central Sapporo to Sapporo Kokusai is about 60 minutes by car in the official guide. Reserved buses have their own stops and timing: arrange both outbound and return seats. The driving estimate is not a bus journey time. As checked on 11 October 2026, city bus-pack fares are not yet announced; reservations are expected to open in late October to early November. The onsen-admission pack ended after 2025–26.
The Jozankei Ski Liner is for guests of tourism-association member properties, planned December 23, 2026–March 22, 2027. Outbound examples are 09:00–09:45 or 10:30–11:15. Book a return journey by 21:00 the preceding day; select the hotel for your stop.
The resort estimates around 100 minutes by car from New Chitose Airport. For a hotel-first journey, check transport through Sapporo or a hotel-arranged vehicle. Old suspended airport-bus listings do not guarantee a current direct service.
Hotel transfers differ: Makomanai Station for Mori no Uta, Odori Nishi 5-chome for Suizantei, and an arranged car or Jozankei Jinja-mae for Chalet Ivy. Ski-resort transfers are not assumed included.
The Ski Liner cannot be booked one-way. Do not wear ski boots on board; keep skis and boards in cases. Check special return times on December 31/January 1 and weather cancellations. The Asari Pass route has a winter 19:00–07:00 closure notice; check evening travel.
