2025 Chitose Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

It turns out that traveling from New Chitose Airport to downtown Sapporo can be comfortable, affordable, and super easy! For first-time visitors to Hokkaido's New Chitose Airport, it's crucial to prepare the Visit Japan Web QR code in advance. Completing immigration procedures upon arrival takes less than 10 minutes. 💫💫Here's the key point!💫💫 Besides taking the JR train to downtown Sapporo, you can also opt for the bus! It costs 1,300 yen per person, requires no transfers, guarantees a seat, and takes about an hour. When you arrive at the airport, don't rush to buy bus tickets at the international terminal! 💫💫Another key point!💫💫 🚃 The bus starts at the domestic terminal and then picks up passengers at the international terminal, where seats are often already scarce. 🌟 So, how do you get to the domestic terminal to buy bus tickets? 💫Another key tip!💫 First, look for "Doraemon." Then follow the signs for "Domestic Terminal" and keep walking straight without using any stairs. You'll pass by a souvenir shopping area, and after entering the main hall, head to the right to find an elevator that takes you down one level. This is where you can purchase bus tickets to downtown Sapporo. Refer to the images I’ve shared above to navigate smoothly. 💫💫Final key point💫💫 The bus to downtown Sapporo makes several stops along the way. If you're heading to the area near Tanukikoji, the "Minami 3-jo Susukino" stop is the closest. This area is a hub for Sapporo's food, attractions, and hotels. I hope this information helps first-time visitors to Hokkaido and Sapporo! 👍

While Hokkaido's New Chitose Airport may not be as large as Kansai or Narita airports, it has its own unique charm. The airport is well-equipped with a variety of facilities, offering plenty of dining and shopping options for travelers. As soon as you enter the airport, you'll see a large Donki store, filled with a wide array of products that will tempt you to take a stroll through.

I used New Chitose Airport on my trip to Hokkaido, and the food here was incomparable to anywhere else! So I enjoyed Hokkaido food at the airport, and ended up eating my fill until the end of my trip... Here are 5 recommended foods at New Chitose Airport! 1️⃣Drive-in Ito's "Grilled Cheese Pork Bowl" ¥1870 I realized I hadn't eaten a pork bowl, so I had one at the end of my trip to Hokkaido. I had grilled cheese pork bowl! The pork was rich and juicy. It was full of volume and filled me up! It was grilled, so it had a nice aroma, and cheese lovers couldn't resist it. If I go to Hokkaido again, I'd like to finish here. 2️⃣Jazzy Brown's "Ushi no Tsuno" ¥650 Made with carefully selected ingredients from Tokachi! The soft serve ice cream made with Jersey cow milk, which has a rich flavor and high nutritional value, is exquisite. The top recommendation is "Ushi no Tsuno", a soft jersey ice cream on top of fluffy cornet bread filled with plenty of red bean paste from Tokachi! 3️⃣"Koi Suru Kumagoron" by siretoco sky sweets, ¥1,080 It's cheap for the volume! And it looks cute! The popular animal donut, Shiretoko donut. It's a baked donut, so it's a little healthier? It's also a great souvenir! 4️⃣Kinotoya "Exquisite Milk Soft Cream" ¥450 This popular soft cream won first place out of 33 stores in the "New Chitose Airport Soft Cream Ice Cream General Election" held at New Chitose Airport, the gateway to Hokkaido's skies, a fierce soft cream battleground, and has been the glory of winning five consecutive times. It has also been selected as one of the 100 best ice cream shops on Tabelog. Once you try the chewy, dense texture and smooth mouthfeel, you'll definitely be hooked! And it's cheap! 5️⃣Kitakaro's "Yume Fuusen" ¥351 A cream puff served in a cup perfect for eating on the go! The chewy, chewy dough is filled with a rich, lightly sweet cream, making it delicious! It was so good I wanted to eat it again and again 😋 There are endless other foods to enjoy at New Chitose Airport, the best airport! Be sure to find your favorite gourmet food! #DomesticTravelStrategy

Hotel directly connected to the international terminal of New Chitose Airport "Portom International Hokkaido" I had never been to New Chitose Airport, but I had heard that it was an enjoyable airport, so I wanted to go there once. I found a nice hotel directly connected to the airport and booked it on "Trip.com" and went there❣️ It opened in 2020, so it's still a new hotel. It's about a 10-minute walk from the domestic terminal, but since it's inside the terminal, it's not cold, and you can enjoy walking while looking at various stores. From the moment you step into the hotel entrance, you can feel the elegant and extraordinary atmosphere...✨ I can't believe there's a hotel with such an atmosphere in Hokkaido! The clientele is mostly foreigners returning from skiing... It's an international terminal, so it's only natural😅 The room was a junior suite💕 Actually, I booked my flight and hotel the day before I went, so only the junior suite was available! 😂 That's how popular the hotel is. But I was lucky to be able to book it cheaply on Trip.com! The hotel staff's attitude didn't change just because it was cheap, and they were always polite😊 The spacious 63㎡ room was comfortable. Not to mention the amenities, there was plenty of room wear, one-piece loungewear, and bathrobes! The best thing about this hotel is the view from the room! You can see the runway and planes from your room✨✈ And the sunset over the mountains is beautiful... A must-see for plane lovers❣️ You'll never get bored looking outside! This hotel also has a large public bath, which is a hot spring♨ It seems that you can go in from your room wearing the hotel's room wear. I was tired from playing too much at the airport, so I didn't go to the hot springs 😵💦 A one-night trip to eat around New Chitose Airport 😂 The hotel was comfortable and I wanted to stay another night~ I wanted to take a bath in the hot springs~ If you go to Hokkaido, please try it 😉 📍Portom International Hokkaido 4th floor, directly connected to the international terminal at New Chitose Airport #Hotel review #Domestic travel #Hot springs #Accommodation review #Hokkaido #New Chitose Airport #Trip

There is a Doraemon theme park at the New Chitose Airport in Hokkaido, on the third floor of the domestic terminal. Except for the park area, which requires payment and the DIY area, which is self-paid, other areas are free. There are any door and other secret props in the park area where you can take photos and experience them. Doraemon will come out to interact with everyone at fixed times. The restaurant has a variety of Doraemon-themed dishes, as well as a library where you can freely read comics. The last store area sells New Chitose Airport-exclusive products. I almost spent all my money before I even got to downtown Sapporo!

New Chitose Airport in Hokkaido is full of fun activities! Inside the airport, you can enjoy freshly made potato snacks called 'Poteriko', and there's a ramen street where you can try various kinds of ramen! This time, I visited a ramen shop called 'Ebisoba Ichigen'! You can also enjoy Royce's chocolate chips, and at Starbucks, you can try flavors exclusive to New Chitose Airport. There are plenty of places to eat at the airport! There's also a Crayon Shin-chan shop where I tried my luck with a gacha machine before heading home!

If you are traveling to Sapporo, you must visit New Chitose Airport. New Chitose Airport has various things to enjoy inside the airport. There are various facilities such as shopping, restaurants, hot spring facilities, movie theaters, hotels, and observation decks all in one place. The place I especially liked was the ‘Hokkaido Ramen Dojo’, which has a collection of Hokkaido ramen restaurants. 🍜 It is located on the 3rd floor of the domestic terminal. They say there are 10 carefully selected stores, so I recommend visiting them while you are at the airport. The next place I recommend is ‘Royce Chocolate World’ 🍫 It is located on the 3rd floor of the connecting facility and has the Royce Chocolate Factory, museum, etc. It was fun to see the factory where chocolate was made right in front of you. In addition, there are many character-related stores such as Doraemon Wakuwaku Sky Park and Hello Kitty Happy Flight Shop. You will lose track of time as you walk around. 🙊 If the airport is this fun, how much fun is downtown Sapporo?

#Overseas travel - Sapporo New Chitose Airport Duty Free Shop Sapporo Airport is small in size, so I didn't have high expectations for the duty free shop, but there was a domestic souvenir shop on the first floor, so I was able to buy more than I thought, including LeTAO, super sweet corn, and corn snacks! It's more expensive than downtown, but I recommend going to the duty free shop to buy it rather than packing too much!

At Tsuruga in Lake Shikotsu~ Highly recommended I booked a room with a private bath~ Although it comes with a buffet, the buffet here is really delicious, especially the desserts~ The room also has a massage chair, and after soaking in the hot spring, I get a massage, and every time I feel so comfortable that I fall asleep directly~ Compared to Lake Toya, Lake Shikotsu is really much quieter~

Whether you are a food lover, a shopping expert, or a parent-child family, you can find your own fun here. Don't miss it. You can be willful before checking in 😋🎁🍦♨️😃

Hokkaido's main airport, New Chitose Airport, is a large airport where you can enjoy gourmet food, shopping, and sightseeing, and you could spend an entire day there and not be satisfied. The airport itself is large, so you'll have to walk quite a bit before reaching your destination. And because there are so many travelers, the check-in counters and security checkpoints get very crowded. During the summer holidays, even if I arrived at the airport three hours before my flight departed, it was so crowded that I couldn't find any souvenirs at all. It's an airport where you have to get there early, but it's a great airport that you'll want to visit again and again! ୨୧――――――――――――――――――୨୧ Facility name📍New Chitose Airport Address📍New Chitose Airport Terminal Building, Mimi, Chitose City, Hokkaido Access📍 ・Directly connected to JR New Chitose Airport ・Approximately 40 minutes by train from JR Sapporo Station ・Approximately 3.5 hours by car from Hakodate Airport ・Approximately 3 hours by car from Asahikawa Airport ୨୧――――――――――――――――――୨୧ #AirplaneTravel2024 #100TravelStyles #HokkaidoTrip #HokkaidoGourmet #NewChitoseAirport #NewChitoseAirportGourmet

【Introduction】: Every autumn, Hokkaido, Japan, turns into a fairy tale world of red maple and golden leaves. As a popular destination for viewing autumn leaves in Japan, Hokkaido's autumn leaves season runs from mid-September to mid-October, with leaves scattered all over the streets, mountains, and lakes. Famous autumn leaves viewing spots such as Daisetsuzan, Lake Shikotsu, and Jozankei are layered with maple leaves, ginkgo leaves, and autumn water, attracting a large number of tourists to visit. ⛺【Travel Tips】: Best time to view autumn leaves: The peak season for red maple leaves is usually from late September to mid-October, with specific times varying depending on the altitude. The autumn leaves in high-altitude areas such as Daisetsuzan enter the viewing period first, while the autumn leaves in Jozankei and Lake Shikotsu around Sapporo are a little later. Equipment requirements: Hokkaido has a lower temperature in autumn, so it is recommended to bring a windproof jacket and warm clothes, especially when the temperature difference is large in the morning and evening. Comfortable sports shoes or hiking shoes are essential for viewing autumn leaves, as most of the scenic spots are hiking routes. Photographic equipment and spare batteries are essential. Precautions: Most of the scenic spots have many mountain roads, so you should walk according to your ability. Some areas such as Daisetsuzan may experience low temperatures, so keep warm and check the weather forecast in advance and adjust your itinerary. 🛬【Itinerary】: One-day tour: It is recommended to visit Jozankei Onsen and Red Leaf Canyon. Depart from Sapporo city in the morning and head to Jozankei (about 1 hour by car). Take a walk in the canyon surrounded by red leaves and enjoy the autumn scenery. Lunch can be enjoyed at a local hot spring inn. Relax in the hot spring in the afternoon and end the day's autumn leaves viewing tour. Two-day tour: Depart from Sapporo and visit Daisetsuzan on the first day. Take the cable car up the mountain and enjoy the magnificent view of the red maple leaves on the top of the mountain. Stay at a nearby hot spring hotel at night, and get up early the next day to watch the maple leaves in the morning mist. Then head to Lake Shikotsu and enjoy the perfect combination of lake water and red maple leaves by the lake. 🧡【Tips】: Photography tips: Hokkaido's maple leaves are rich in color, so it is recommended to shoot in clear weather. The morning and evening sun can best show the bright colors of the red maple leaves. The reflection scenes around the lake and hot springs are also worth capturing. When shooting, you can use a wide-angle lens to show a sense of hierarchy. Transportation suggestions: Hokkaido has convenient transportation. You can take public transportation or rent a car to drive to the main autumn leaves viewing areas from Sapporo. Self-driving is more flexible and you can stop along the way to enjoy the beautiful red maple leaves. Accommodation recommendations: During the autumn leaves viewing period, hot spring inns are very popular, so it is recommended to book in advance. It is recommended to stay at Jozankei Onsen or Lake Shikotsu Onsen, where you can enjoy the autumn leaves while soaking in the hot spring, and enjoy the tranquility and beauty of Hokkaido in autumn. Food recommendations: Autumn is the harvest season for seafood in Hokkaido. You can try local crab pot, fresh fish sashimi and other delicacies. At the same time, while viewing the autumn leaves, you can also taste Hokkaido's authentic hot spring buns and hot spring eggs, which is an experience not to be missed.

Hokkaido, Japan has always been a favorite destination for independent travelers, but everyone may think of traveling to popular attractions such as Sapporo or Otaru, but today I want to recommend to you an excellent attraction, Lake Shikotsu. It’s actually only a 1-hour drive from Sapporo and 40 minutes from Chitose Airport. There are also roads from Lake Shikotsu leading to Noboribetsu, Lake Toya and Niseko. After visiting this attraction, you can also go on a tour along the way. It’s really convenient for independent travelers! Lake Shikotsu is famous for its clear water. Whether it is the lakeside scenery, taking a boat tour to appreciate the underwater ecology, hot spring hotels and restaurants, these are all attractions where tourists can stop and play. It is a pleasure to relax your body and soul by taking a stroll by the lake, walk along the Wild Bird Shikotsu Nature Trail, enter the forest to appreciate wild birds and cute wild animals, or stand on the observation deck to enjoy the calm and clear lake scenery. When you come to Lake Shikotsu, how can you enjoy the scenery of such a large lake? The best way is of course to take a tour boat! But what is different from a tour boat is that this is an underwater tour boat. Instead of sailing into the water, you can see the underwater scenery through the transparent windows on the bottom of the boat and admire the clear lake water. Visitors can not only see the green leaves surrounding the mountains by the lake, but also the underwater ecology. If you are lucky, you may encounter a school of grouper, watching them swim past you in groups. The scene is spectacular, and it feels as amazing as seeing an actual aquarium. #100 Ways to Travel
