New Chitose Airport in Hokkaido is full of fun activities!

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!

A 9-meter tall Christmas tree has appeared in the Center Plaza on the 2nd floor, near the domestic terminal and shopping area. The decorations, inspired by the latest Disney movie, are primarily blue and sparkle beautifully. Not only the tree but also many of the souvenir packages are adorably wrapped, giving a sense of winter travel and the Christmas season.

On the day I went to Hokkaido, Kitakaro came up in conversation at work, and I heard that their cream puffs are very popular and delicious! They sell out in the evening! I thought I'd like to try them since I was there anyway, so I decided to stop by. I originally went there to buy an Italian Milano puff, but after hearing their explanation, I decided to get a torn-off puff biscuit. One of the reasons I chose it was because the surface was chewy, but I heard that the crust is made with cheese, so you can enjoy the saltiness and it may feel less sweet, so I decided on this. In a word, it's really delicious! Of course, the custard inside is also great ◎ Aside from the Italian Milano puff, I'm also interested in the most popular Yume Fushigi and the second most popular Kita no Yume Dome! If I see Kitakaro again, I'd like to buy some more.

Ebisoba Ichigen is one of Hokkaido's most distinctive ramen shops, known for its rich and flavorful shrimp broth made from sweet shrimp, without the greasiness of pork bone broth. Served in a vermilion bowl, the ramen includes standard toppings like green onions, seasoned egg, and char siu pork, with an added touch of shrimp tempura for extra texture and flavor. Ichigen also has an overseas branch in Taipei. My first taste was at the Ramen Dojo on the third floor of New Chitose Airport. It was the first ramen shop with a line, but the queue moved quickly. While waiting, the staff handed out menus so you could order in line. Once seated, the piping hot shrimp ramen was served promptly, showcasing their efficiency. Despite being made from sweet shrimp, the broth can be customized: pure shrimp, more shrimp with less pork, or more pork with less shrimp. There are also three flavor options: miso, salt, and soy sauce. The noodles come in two thicknesses, and additional side dishes like Ichigen gyoza and rice balls are available, making for a satisfying meal. Given its rich and intense flavor, the quality of shrimp ramen is consistent across all locations, so there's no need to worry about a bad experience. If you want to try seafood-based ramen, Ebisoba Ichigen in Hokkaido is definitely the top choice.

At Starbucks New Chitose Airport, you can purchase Hokkaido-exclusive mugs, tumblers, and Starbucks cards. You can easily buy heavy mugs and tumblers that you might be a little hesitant to carry around while sightseeing in Hokkaido at the airport. In fact, Starbucks doesn't serve espresso shots. This is a consideration unique to an airport that meets a wide range of customers. New Chitose Airport's exclusive "White Chocolate & Espresso" is a drink of cocoa topped with chocolate whipped cream and freshly ground coffee beans. There is also a stylish eat-in space opposite Starbucks, so it's also recommended for taking a break.

Sappor

Hokkaido trip We first went to Hakodate and ate the most famous clown burger, then went to Otaru to taste sweets, and then came to Asahikawa. The most popular place must be the Asahiyama Zoo in the suburbs. This northernmost zoo in Japan creates a unique living environment close to wild ecology, showing people a more comfortable and natural living state of animals. The zoo is not big, it is highly recommended to enter the park at 10 am, immerse yourself in each pavilion, and then leave the park Finally, we ended the trip with Hokkaido milk and cake #北海道

#rentacar #100 ways to travel When we went to Hokkaido this time, we also booked a rental car online. We directly chose to pick up the car at New Chitose Airport. We went to the domestic Times car rental counter, checked in and went through simple procedures, and then waited for the shuttle bus to take us to the car rental company! The store at New Chitose Airport Store is super huge! Even the reception space inside is very large and a very comfortable reception center. After completing the formalities and confirming all the matters related to driving and renting a car, you can pick up the car. Because it is winter and it is snowy to drive, I still choose an SUV with 4WD. This time I rented a CX-5 and the color is so good! #CX5 averages NT$2,680 per day including all insurances #Winter snow driving is risky and you really need to self-evaluate #Hokkaido is very convenient for sightseeing, even if you don’t drive by yourself, you can enjoy it thoroughly #familytravel #carrental #self-driving #snowdriving #free travel #Japan #Hokkaido

I saw that Sapporo Agricultural School has an airport-only cheesecake. I heard that you can’t buy it in the urban branches. I’ve been here since I came here, and the grandpa’s cheesecake I bought in Namba before was delicious. I would like to say that in Hokkaido With the help of dairy products, it should be even better. Although I checked beforehand that the queue for this cake would take more than 40 minutes, I decided to try my luck. After walking around at the airport, I found it in the domestic store area. Sure enough, there was a long queue, but there were fewer people than expected. However, when I walked over to the queue, the clerk held up a sign and said that if I wanted to buy cheesecake, my position in the queue might be my turn. I sold out, so I thought I would give it a try. I waited in line for less than half an hour and saw that there were still a lot of them in the store. I was lucky enough to buy one. When I got home, it was late, so I put it in the refrigerator and picked it up the next day. When I ate it out, it seemed to taste like a normal cheesecake, not particularly sweet.

If you are taking a flight at New Chitose Airport, you can eat on domestic flights in advance. Although our flight was the next afternoon, we checked into the airport hotel the night before and had free access to the hot springs. There are lots of delicious food and souvenirs, and I took my time to check in the next day, which was very relaxing!

I took Japan Airlines flight 531 from Haneda to New Chitose Airport✈️ JAL531 Haneda 20:40 → New Chitose 22:15 This flight is the last JAL flight from Haneda to New Chitose, so it is often delayed👀 In fact, due to bad weather, it was delayed for about 20 minutes💦 A little after takeoff, they serve drinks😄 JAL's original beef consommé soup is comforting and delicious🤍 Maybe because it was a weekday, the boarding rate wasn't that high, so I was able to relax✨ #Domestic travel#Airplane #New Chitose

Nice comfortable hotel. Location was great for us as we had to catch a connecting flight. Staff were hospitable.

| Enjoy a Full Day of Eating, Drinking, and Playing at the Airport! 🌟Normally, airports are just places for boarding or arriving flights, and you always rush to get there, fly quickly, and leave as soon as you land. ⏰But there's one airport that makes you not want to leave once you arrive, and even plan to get there a few hours early - that's Hokkaido's New Chitose Airport~ 💖Not only does it have a variety of restaurants and exclusive products, but it also has several family-friendly amusement facilities, hot springs, and a cinema, making it a place where you won't get bored even if you stay all day. - 🔎First thing to note is that most of the fun is in the domestic terminal or the SMILE ROAD that connects the domestic/international terminals. The international terminal is quite barren, and you shouldn't plan on shopping after security check. It's not that there's nothing at all in the international terminal, but it can only fill gaps and is far behind the domestic offerings. - 🥢Restaurants are located in areas such as Shiden-dori Food Court Street, Hokkaido Ramen Dojo, etc. Recommendations include: 🍣Kantaro, a revolving sushi from Hakodate 🍚Hokkai Kamameshi Seafood Ginshari Fukutei, a seafood rice from Kushiro 🍜Ebisoba Ichigen, a famous ramen that always has a long queue 🥘Soup Curry lavi, a Hokkaido specialty soup curry 🍦Additionally, there is currently a soft serve ice cream competition, with many unique flavors to choose from, such as potato ice cream, corn ice cream, etc. - 🎊Family amusement facilities: 🌿Doraemon Happy Sky Park Includes a children's play area, library, workshop, cafe, and shop. - 🏝️HELLO KITTY Happy Direct Flight Travel around the world with HELLO KITTY dressed as a flight attendant, and check in at scenes from around the world. There is also a restaurant and shop attached. - 🚉Transportation: You can take the JR to and from Sapporo Station, which takes about 40 minutes. Buses are also available to Jozankei Onsen, Asahikawa, Obihiro/Tokachigawa Onsen, Furano/Kitami, Noboribetsu Onsen, Niseko, and other places. - 🌟TIPS: 💡Be careful with buying too much in spring and autumn... I added 20KG of luggage allowance and still worried about being overweight. There's just so much to buy in Hokkaido. However, from observation/experience, snacks carried by hand don't count as hand luggage, but I'm not sure. 🌟It's essential to have Roaming Man portable WiFi for early departures and late returns. I used to rent 4G, but this time I experienced a qualitative change with 5G! Whether it's searching or downloading apps, it's smooth and not laggy, and there's still battery left after leaving at 7-8 am and returning to the hotel at 9-10 pm, which is reassuring.

If you reach New Chitose Airport late like 7pm, chances are you will not be able to find many restaurants open. This shop opens until relatively late for you to grab a good Japanese meal before your flight! This is Chaya Gourmet and near ANA departure lobby side. Not exactly the cheapest but pretty yummy. The ochazuke and pork don are recommended! #cherryblossom2024
