Questionnaire on transportation in Niseko Area

The purpose of this survey is to ease the mobility burdens of tourists in the Niseko area.
In the Niseko area, the number of tourists increases significantly during the winter tourist season, and travel demand swells locally during the peak season from December through March, making it difficult for both tourists and local residents to get around.
As a fundamental research to solve this problem, The Hokkaido Development Agency is conducting a questionnaire survey on means of transportation in the Niseko area and investigate the possibility of solving the problem through car sharing (a service in which registered members share the use of a car).
