・Should I rent a car to get around?

・Do you have a dedicated car park?

　Yes, Beachfront Fugoppe has a spacious private parking space for up to 3 cars. Mountain View Totoro has parking space for 1 car, but if you are traveling with a large vehicle, especially in winter, please consult us in advance.

・What if we don’t rent a car?

　You can still take a train from New Chitose Airport. Find more information here. We recommend staying at Mountain View Totoro. It’s located near the town center.

・We are not confident driving on snow.

　Although all rental cars are equipped with snow tires, driving in winter in Hokkaido requires caution and experience. You are welcome to contact us for a private transportation service. After mid-March, the roads become easier to drive.

・When is the ski/snow season in Yoichi/Hokkaido?

　If you are an experienced skier and want to ski on Hokkaido’s powder snow, January and February are good times. If you are a beginner skier or a non-skier who just wants to see the snow, we recommend traveling in early to mid-December, or March to avoid crowds and high prices.
