Travel info
Useful information for travellers to Niseko
ATMs
ATMs are generally only found at post offices or the airport. The nearest ATM machine is in Niseko town which is 15 minutes away by bus. We recommend getting all your cash at the airport ATM before you catch the bus to Niseko.
Credit Cards
Some places take credit cards, but in general it is always good to have cash on hand. Annupuri Lodge accepts VISA & MASTERCARD & AMEX, as well as common Japanese credit cards. You can pay by charge for most of the optional tours, rental skis, rental mobile phone, and bus fare (Niseko⇔Airport) with your credit card at Annupuri Lodge.
Tipping
Tipping is not customary in Japan. Restaurant bills are usually paid at the cash register on the way out and the service charge is included in the price.
Health Insurance
You should have travel insurance prior to coming to Japan. In hospitals, credit cards are not usable.
Electricity
The electricity supply in Japan is 100V AC 50Hz, with a two-pronged plug / socket arrangement.
Rental Mobile Phones
We are able to organize a rental cell phone while you are in Niseko. Your O/S mobile will not work in Japan.
Rental Equipment - Skis and Snowboards
