<Comments from users last year>
・Very useful for sightseeing around Niseko.
・It was located right next to the station and was very easy to use.
・It was very helpful to have a car share service at Niseko Station. Because of car sharing, I was able to use public transportation to get around.
・I didn't know that car sharing existed, but by learning about it locally and using it, I was able to visit more sightseeing spots more easily than I had originally planned.
As described above,
It was very well received by tourists,
In the fiscal year 2024,
We have expanded and continued this initiative.
This time, the car share will continue through the winter season and be available all year round.
