Train to Yubari
There used to be a train station in Yubari, but it closed in 2019 when the Yubari Line was ceased in association with the ongoing economic decline of the town. This comes as no great surprise because when we caught the train in 2016 there was only the occasional train, it had one carriage with 5 passengers on it, and it didn’t line up well with trains into Shin Yubari.
Bus to Yubari Resort
There used to be a bus from the New Chitose Aiport to Yubari, but this ceased when the hotel closed.
