From the Minakami IC exit, turn left onto Route 291 and then turn left at the first traffic lights (1.3km) to continue on Route 291 for about 6km. At the Oana traffic lights, turn right onto Prefecture Road 63 (also known as the Okutone-Yukemuri Highway). Go past Okutone Snow Park on the right, and soon after, you will arrive at some traffic lights. Either turn left (if you are equipped and used to winter snow roads) or continue straight on. Go past the turn-off and signposts for Minakami Hodaigi. The turn-off from Prefecture Road 63 for Minakami Kogen Fujiwara is about 3.5km farther on than the turn-off for Minakami Hodaigi. Turn right at the signs and follow the road and signs up to the ski area.
Car parking is available close to the base of the ski area. The Day Center car park is free and open from 7:00am until 5:00pm (mostly on weekends and holidays).
There is also a special car park at the base Minakami Kogen Hotel 200. That car park is open 24 hours a day and free for guests of the hotel (and can be used on weekdays for non-guests).
