Like to give this a bump with my questions.

My hotel in Niseko provided me a link to the Ski Bus service for transportation between CTS and Niseko. My flight on Dec. 20 is scheduled to arrive at 5:05pm, and the bus sets to depart CTS at 6:00pm (the next bus is at 7:30pm). Is this a doable arrangement? Would this be better than getting a car and drive ourselves?

Also, the hotel tells me to get off at the Kanronomori stop, then it's a 3 minute walk to the hotel (pass 9pm in the dead of winter). Would this be a hardship?

Thanks.
