The new Chitose Airport is not the destination, but the most exciting beginning of the Hokkaido journey🛫🍜🎬

#5月好去处2025 Address: Misaki, Chitose City, Hokkaido ⸻ Atmosphere/Facilities: The New Chitose Airport is divided into two major areas: domestic and international. The interior design is modern and full of Hokkaido characteristics✨. From major souvenir shops🎁, food streets🍜, dessert streets🍰 to hot spring facilities♨️, cinemas🎬, and children's play areas🎠, everything is available. The airport is spacious and bright🛋️, with clear guidance. Whether you are transferring, waiting for a flight, or coming here specifically🎒, you can enjoy one-stop convenience and comfort. ⸻ Transportation: It takes about 40 minutes to take the JR rapid train🚆 from downtown Sapporo. The trains are frequent⏱️ and the transportation is convenient. You can also take the airport bus🚌 directly to major urban areas, resorts and ski resorts🎿, which is very friendly to independent travelers. ⸻ Features: • The only hot spring in Japan’s airport, “Shin Chitose Onsen”♨️, where you can watch planes take off and land while soaking🛩️ • Anime fans’ paradise🎡: Doraemon Sky Park🐱🚀, Royce’ Chocolate World🍫, Hello Kitty Happy Flight🐱🏍 • Hokkaido food collection🍥: Sapporo Ramen Republic🍜, LeTAO🧀, Rokkatei🍡, White Lover🍪 and other specialty products • Thoughtful facilities🔌🪑: Free mobile phone charging station📱, comfortable rest area, luggage storage🧳 and more • Airport-limited products are super attractive💸, accidentally slip and lose🙈 ⸻ Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐（5/5） ⸻ Experience: If you think that the airport is just a place to take a plane✈️, then you really underestimated the New Chitose Airport! It is basically a "large tourist park"🎪 that integrates shopping🛍️, food🍱, entertainment🎉 and relaxation🧘♀️. Many people even make a special trip to come here for a whole day🎠, and they can have fun even without taking a plane. I took an early flight this time⏰ and arrived a few hours in advance, but the time was not enough! As soon as I exited the JR station and entered the domestic terminal🏢, the first thing that caught my eye was a dazzling array of souvenir shops🎁, from the familiar Shiroi Koibito, Royce’, Rokkatei, to the limited edition LeTAO cheesecake🧀 that can only be bought at the airport, which was completely out of control. I almost couldn't fit all the shopping in my handbag🛍️, but luckily there is a luggage storage area where I can temporarily store my spoils and continue shopping🧳. Then I went straight to the **"New Chitose Onsen"♨️** that I was looking forward to the most! Who would have thought that I could wear a yukata, take a bath, and watch airplanes in the airport🛩️? The entire hot spring facility is clean and comfortable🛁, and there is also a Japanese-style rest area and simple meals🍙. While taking a bath, I counted down the time to leave Hokkaido⏳, and I felt soothed by the parting🥺. After leaving the hot spring area, I was attracted by **"Doraemon Sky Park"🐾 - there are not only cute interactive exhibition areas💡, but also slides and photo scenes for children📸, so adults and children can have fun🧒👩🦰. On the other side, there is also "Royce' Chocolate World" 🍫 where you can watch the chocolate making process 👀, and even buy airport-exclusive chocolates 🎁, every bite is super happy 💖. If you are a ramen lover 🍜, **"Sapporo Ramen Republic"** is definitely not to be missed 🔥! It gathers famous ramen shops from all over Hokkaido 🏮, with rich soup and thick barbecued pork, and one bowl is super satisfying 😋! One thing I like about New Chitose Airport is that it is full of local characteristics and ingenuity 🌿. The decoration incorporates Hokkaido images such as snowflakes, milk, and forests ❄️🌲, and there are free charging stations, comfortable seats, parent-child spaces 🧸, etc., which are very considerate 💡. The airport staff are also friendly and polite 😊, and you can complete all the procedures smoothly even if you don't know Japanese. In summary, New Chitose Airport is not the "end" of leaving Hokkaido🚪, but the beginning of another wonderful journey🎆. Here you can enjoy shopping🛍️, eating🍴, playing🎠, and even relax until the last moment💆♀️. If I have the opportunity to come again, I will definitely reserve more time and make the airport a tourist attraction🔥! #新千岁 #新千岁机场国际线 #新千岁空港温泉 #新千岁空港 #新千岁空港美食 #Hokkaido
