National Route 5 Rankoshi-Kutchan Road (Niseko-Kutchan) Project Plan Briefing Session to be Held

The Otaru Development and Construction Department of the Hokkaido Regional Development Bureau is planning a project to develop a motor vehicle-only road between Motomachi, Niseko Town and Asahi, Kutchan Town, with the aim of improving safety by reducing traffic accidents in downtown Kutchan and other areas, improving travel speeds from New Chitose Airport to the international tourist destination of Niseko, thereby supporting regional revitalization through the promotion of tourism, and contributing as an alternative route in the event of a disaster such as an eruption of Mount Usu.
In July 2024, we held a road planning briefing session to gain your understanding and cooperation regarding access to the land for on-site surveys, and explained the purpose of the project, the planned contents, and how the project will proceed.
Now that we are ready to indicate the road centerline, we will be holding a business plan briefing session as detailed below to provide an overview of the road centerline.

Date and time: Friday, May 30, 2025, 18:00- (approximately 1 hour)
Venue: Niseko Town Center Large Hall
