Kutchan Station - iCentre Tourist Information Located in Kutchan Station - this is a great place to organise your next steps once arriving in Niseko. English speaking staff are available as well as free Wi-Fi. Hours: 09:00–19:00

Kutchan We encourage you to take a short trip out of the main parts of Niseko and Hirafu to truly experience rural Japanese culture. Kutchan is the nearest major town to the Niseko resort and Hirafu Village and has a population of around 15,000. Kutchan has a long history as a ski town and is one of the snowiest towns on earth averaging over 10 metres of snow each season. In summer, Kutchan is primarily a farming district most famous for its potatoes and potato products - particularly "gosetsu-udon"; a potato flour based noodle. The town’s mascot is a combination of these two traditions; a skiing potato named Jagata-kun which translates as "Potato boy".

Transport Grand Shuttle Bus Free shuttle buses run throughout Hirafu Village every 20 minutes from 08:30. Buses finish at 22:30 during peak season (Dec 13th - Mar 22nd), and at 16:30 during shoulder periods (Dec 6th - 12th & Mar 23rd - Apr 6th).

is an International ATM and a service counter for currency exchange, international bank transfers and assistance for the consumption tax exemption. SkiJapan.com Guest Privilege card accepted here.

MaxValu – Located along the bus route a short way from the centre of town. Similar to CO-OP you can get all the regular shopping supplies. They also have a bakery and amusement corner. Right next door you’ll find a Tsuruha Drugstore and ¥100 shop Daiso. Just up the road is Homac, a large hardware store.

CO-OP – Probably the most convenient given its location next to the train station and the bus stop. Here you’ll be able to purchase all kinds of fresh vegetables, meat and alcohol etc. There’s also a drug store, a clothing shop, a book store and a bakery in the same building. It’s a great place to pick up some great costumes and clothing. SkiJapan.com Guest Privilege card accepted here.

Child Care Whether you want to enjoy riding fresh powder, a romantic dinner or just want to relax, child-care services are always available. Niseko Happy Kids, Niseko Babysitters, Kids Club in AYA and Win D'ol provide babysitting services. If you are staying with SkiJapan.com, you will receive a 10% discount with these companies. Day care services are also available at Hotel Niseko Alpen.

Rubbish Due to the lack of space for landfills, Japan was one of the first countries in the world to adopt a program for sorting and recycling rubbish. Most accommodations in Niseko will have several bins available to guests, each labeled with the type of garbage for that bin. Please assist your hosts by sorting your garbage correctly.

M-Pocket – This store sells a variety of western imported products as well as a wide selection of good wines at reasonable prices. If you need a Tim Tam fix or are looking for familiar western cooking ingredients then be sure to look here when you are in Kutchan.

K’s Denki – The largest electrical goods store in Kutchan; supplying everything from digital cameras to washing machines, it is definitely worth a visit. Daiso – ¥100 shop, probably the cheapest store you can find in Kutchan, providing quality, variety and uniqueness, all for only ¥100; what a bargain! This shop offers great value and often some very unusual products! Located next to MaxValu.

You may have noticed that there are no bins on the streets in Niseko and Kutchan. This is common throughout Japan. Please carry any rubbish with you and dispose of it at your accommodation or in the bins you may find in front of convenience stores, the Welcome Centre or in the rest centres on the mountain.

Luggage Delivery Service With Blackcat’s “Takkyubin” service, your luggage can be delivered in advance between the airport (Tokyo, Kansai and New Chitose) and your accommodation in Niseko. It usually takes 2 to 3 days to have your luggage delivered to the destination and the fee per item is around ¥2,500 to ¥3,500. If you are staying with SkiJapan.com, please contact their staff for details.

Power Japanese electrical goods run at 110V. Plugs in Japan consist of two prongs with no earth. If you come from country that uses 240V your appliances may not work in Japan unless they contain a switching power supply, usually indicated on the label by the text “110V - 240V”. If you don’t have a plug adapter you can purchase a handy universal adaptor from SkiJapan.com’s main office, NBS or the Alpen Ridge front desk.

Laws Please respect the local laws. The legal age for drinking and smoking in Japan is 20 years old. Japanese law has a zero tolerance for possession and sales of illegal drugs. Unlike Australia and some other countries, it is illegal to drive under the influence of alcohol. The effective blood alcohol limit is 0.

Medical Services Though there are several small clinics, the main hospital is the Kosei General Hospital. During winter, English translation services are available. The hospital clinic hours are 08:00 to 16:00 on weekdays. In an emergency you can call 0136 22 1141. However, after clinic hours, the hospital only accepts emergency patients carried by an ambulance. In this case, the patients need to be hospitalised after the treatment as a hospital rule. If you don’t speak Japanese, you need to be accompanied by a Japanese-speaking translator. Please only use the hospital after hours if it’s a genuine emergency or illness. Basic medicines for headaches, pain relief, cold/flu and muscle pain can be purchased at the Tsuruha Drug Drugstore in Kutchan, next to MaxValu as well as Hirafu 188 in Hirafu Village.

Use of foreign-made UHB CB radios is prohibited as they can interfere with emergency transmissions and digital TV signals.

Police Box The police box “Koban” is located opposite Rythm in Hirafu village, right next to the Firetruck garage, and is always in operation during winter. Visit the Koban whenever you need police help with reporting a loss, theft, or other crime. If you have had something stolen, you need to fill out a few report forms and go to the police station and cite verification. There is a possibility that it may take more than one day to process your police report. We recommend you submit your report form to the police station as quickly as possible. Tel: 0136-55-8350

TITLE WELCOME TO NISEKO

Hirafu Village Rules & Tips

Safety

When staying in the Hirafu area there are a number of local rules to be aware of, as well as tips to help keep you and your possessions safe. Please take the time to go through these points and raise awareness of safety, security and consideration.

Accidents during winter don’t just occur on the mountain. In winter the footpaths and roads are covered in ice and snow making the ground very slippery. Running, especially when crossing roads, is not advisable.

Restaurants and bars are permitted to operate until 2am.

Fireworks are not permitted after 9pm. Skyrockets are prohibited at all times.

Please follow local noise and vibration control laws - be aware of the hour and respect your neighbours.

Skiing and snowboarding on the roads is strictly prohibited. This is extremely dangerous and can result in serious injury or death as there is large snow clearing machinery in operation throughout the day.

Please avoid drinking in the streets. Rowdy behavior in public is considered rude.

Don't litter - please respect the country and use a bin for any rubbish. Littering during winter results in time consuming community cleaning efforts when the snow melts during the warmer months.

Drink responsibly - if a friend has had too much to drink please escort them home ensuring they arrive safely. It's very easy to become disoriented in Niseko - especially during poor weather - and hypothermia is a very real danger if you are intoxicated and lost.

9. 8.

There is a lot of snow on the roofs of buildings. There are also many icicles suspended from the eaves of buildings. Please do not stand or walk near the edge of buildings as this ice and snow may fall on you. When out and about for a few drinks at night it is highly recommended to take a friend or at least make sure you let your group know where you’re going. Always stick to the main roads. Snow drifts can be quite deep in certain areas and if you were to slip into one you may be unable to get out without assistance. Please be safe and use common sense - on and off the mountain.
