Travel infomation

How to get to the conference venue

We recommend the following route to reach Rusutsu Resort Hotel & Convention: Fly to New Chitose Airport (CTS), Sapporo, via Tokyo Narita (NRT) or Tokyo Haneda (HND) Airport. Most international travelers will transfer in Tokyo to reach Sapporo. From New Chitose Airport, take the Bigruns shuttle bus directly to Rusutsu Resort Hotel & Convention. The journey takes approximately 2.5 hours and offers a comfortable and convenient connection to the venue. Bus reservations can be made through the Rusutsu Resort Hotel website. We recommend booking the bus in advance, especially during the busy winter season. For more detailed access information of the shuttle bus schedule and booking links, please visit here.
