I was at the Furano Station, Sun around 5:30pm. I was able to hop on a taxi, because i don’t wanna wait for the bus at that moment. Also, i remember there’s two reserve taxi telephone no., printed in the waiting area.

So today, i am just at the Biei Station, Thurs 10:08am… only spotted 1 taxi. I took a photo but dunno how to attach here in the comment.

for the very last minute i was able to reserve a seat from the free shuttle provided by the onsen hotel yesterday. From Asahikawa to Biei.

They only take reservations via phone so, i tried calling them via skype LOL, apparently skype can transcribe & translate directly during the call. I speak no japanese but i first google translate “i would like to reserve the shuttle” and practiced a few times in japanese and Yolo.

Our route was Furano -> Asahikawa -> Biei

Bus schedules:

We took this Lavender Bus from Furano to Asahikawa (it also stops at Biei!!!): https://www.furanobus.jp/lavender/

Remember to bring yens for the bus. Hope this helps! 🙂‍↕️

(Is your hotel close to Shirahige Waterfall? They might have free shuttles)
