The train ride to Niseko is very scenic. Passing by the ocean and through the countryside. It does take a bit of time, and you’ll need to change trains a couple of times to get here. But for those who don’t mind taking a bit more time, the train may add to your Niseko experience.

At New Chitose Airport, the train terminal is on the basement level. There is no direct train from the airport to Kutchan (the closest major station to Niseko) so you need to change at Otaru.

Once you get to Kutchan Station you will still need to make the last leg to Niseko: a 10 minute taxi ride, which will cost about approx. 3,000 yen. The whole trip from the airport to Niseko should take 3-4 hours.
