Hanazono offers a free shuttle bus between several Hirafu destinations and Hanazono 308, with a stop right out the front of The Vale, or just outside Seciomart for Freshwater / Setsumon Guests. The shuttle runs between 7:50 am and 5:30 pm and departs every 20-30 minutes for the 15-minute journey to the Hanazono learning facility. Children’s lessons include a supervised shuttle bus that leaves from right behind The Vale Niseko near the Family Ace Chairlifts, and drops off in the same place again in the afternoon.
