If you have already booked accommodation with Samurai Snow, you can book transfers through our booking portal.
Sapporo Chitose Airport (CTS) is Hokkaido’s largest airport and handles both regional international flights from China, Hong Kong, South Korea & Taiwan as well as domestic flights from airports across Japan.
Hokkaido Resort Liner is a great value bus service offering both a Chitose Airport to Furano bus for arrival and a Furano to Chitose Airport bus for departure.
The service is fairly convenient with meeting locations in the Domestic and International terminal buildings and buses picking up on site.
The Chitose Airport to Furano bus is direct with no changes of vehicle required and a comfort break provided along the way.
The transfer time varies between 2.25 and 2.5 hours depending on road and weather conditions.
The last bus from Chitose to Furano is not late enough for the latest scheduled flight arrivals. Similarly, the earliest bus from Furano to Chitose Airport is not early enough to service early flight departures. So, if you want to take the bus, please check the bus timetable before booking your flights.
Buses drop off all over the Furano area, so whether you are staying in Kitanomine, Shin Furano or Furano Town, bus services are an option open to you.
We are only able to book transfers for guests who have already booked accommodation with Samurai Snow.
