easy to redeem. just gotta go any of the ticket redemption booth to activate. And inform the staff which date you wish to activate it. Recommended to redeem it as soon as you arrive because the queue may be long if you go to the booth on the day of activation. Its worth it especially if you are visiting multiple locations outside the city.

My experience taking the Niseko Ski Resort - New Chitose Airport - Sapporo shuttle bus was very smooth. The meeting time and location provided by Klook before departure were clear, and the driver arrived on time that day. Luggage placement and headcount confirmation were efficient and very friendly for skiers. The ride was stable, and even on snowy roads, the driver seemed experienced, allowing for a restful nap. For first-timers to Niseko who don't want to transfer via JR or move with ski equipment, this shuttle option is really time-saving and effortless. Overall, it's a great value, and I would choose it again for future ski trips and recommend it to friends. Price: Pass Coverage:

The waiting counter is on the left-hand side as soon as you exit customs, so it's easy to find. Although the shuttle bus frequency is relatively low, we took advantage of the time between exiting customs and boarding the bus to take a quick look around the domestic terminal. Taking the shuttle bus means you don't have to drag your suitcase on the JR train. I will definitely book the shuttle bus in advance next time I go to Hoshino.

When planning your itinerary, calculate whether the JR Pass is cost-effective for taking the Shinkansen and trains. For subways, trains, and buses, you'll need a Suica card, which is also convenient! You don't have to buy tickets before each trip on the Shinkansen, and you'll also need to buy reserved seats for the Shinkansen! The JR Pass can be used as a single card, which is very convenient for visiting various remote attractions!

Our lady driver is punctual and nice. she helped us a lot in planning our free and easy trip. There was a bonus shopping trip in a local shop with a lot of items on sale! Only part we did not like much is how she drives the Alphard. We still recommend Mariko.

It was a wonderful tour experience. The snowfall made it even more special for someone from a tropical country. We had a great time with our tour guide, Andy, who helped us navigate every stop and assisted us in buying the best items.

We had a wonderful time guided by Alex, who is very fluent in English. He seems to have visited Noboribetsu many times, as the knowledge he shared during the trip helped us greatly and allowed us to save a lot of time when visiting each place on the itinerary. From the recommended foods to the popular local products, to shopping guides at Mitsui Outlet ,we were very happy with everything. The trip is truly worth trying, and we would highly recommend it to everyone.
