From Otaru to Jozankei Onsen. 

Hi All,

I will be arriving New Chitose Airport on 12th Feb 2010. We decide to take a bus and go straight to Shikotsuko from the airport for the Ice Festival and stay there for a night.

We are looking at the onsen called Mizunouta by the Tsuruga Group in Shikotsuko area. May I know is the hotel location near to the venue of the Ice Festival?

Our 2nd day is Sapporo and 3rd day is Otaru.

After Otaru We plan to ski at the Kokusai Ski Resort for 3 days and will be staying at Jozankei Onsen.

But we are having some problem on the transport from Otaru to Jozankei. We couldn't find any bus that will bring us there from Otaru. Will it be better if we do Otaru on the 2nd day and follow by Sapporo then to Jozankei Onsen?

I am lost..... Please advice.

Thank you.
