[2024 Chitose Airports] Travel Guide for New Chitose Airport (Updated Dec)

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.

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

I boarded Japan Airlines flight 524✈️ JAL524 New Chitose Airport 19:00→Haneda Airport 20:35 The seating arrangement was 3-3, with monitors and power outlets at each seat🔌 I couldn't find any USB ports, so be aware of that⚠️ The tray table design allows you to use the drink holder without pulling out the table, which is very convenient✨ Shortly after takeoff, drink service began🥤 I loved the hot consomme soup☺️ It was a comfortable flight with high hospitality, ensuring a safe and secure journey❕

| 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

The abundance of food and fun in Sapporo Airport shops is well-known, and this time there's a new discovery. Collecting 12 stamps can be exchanged for a memo book, which is really fun 🥰 1️⃣Hotel We arrived at New Chitose on the way there in the evening, and the return flight was in the morning, so we stayed at the airport hotel twice. The hotel is not far to the left after arrival, very convenient. Both times we stayed in a three-person room, with basically the same layout. It's quite spacious for a family of three. The hotel provides breakfast and hot springs. Staying twice gives you enough time to collect all the stamps and fully explore and eat at New Chitose. We arrived late at nearly 9 o'clock on the first night. Be aware ⚠️ that the shops at New Chitose Airport basically close around 8:30, and all close before 9 o'clock❗️ We walked around a large circle looking for food but found no open shops, so we had to go to Lawson to buy food. Fortunately, Japanese convenience stores are versatile and delicious. 2️⃣Hot Springs The hot spring coupon given by the airport hotel is for the public hot spring on the 4th floor. It's very suitable for people who stay overnight at the airport. After soaking in the hot spring, you can rest here. Overnight stay is charged an additional 2000 yen after 1 a.m. (Figure 5). I have also written about the hot spring rest area at Haneda Airport before. The location is quite limited, but there are many locations at New Chitose, as shown in Figure 4. The reclining chairs can be fully reclined, and there are shared rest rooms for men and women, as well as women-only rooms. 3️⃣Food 🍦Strongly recommend ice cream, every shop is delicious. LeTao's is very rich, KINOTOYA's is super large in shape. Although it's the most famous, the taste is actually not more amazing than other ice creams. Because Hokkaido's milk is good, all dairy products are very delicious. During the more than two weeks in Hokkaido, every ice cream and cheese cake I ate was delicious. 🍫Royce Chocolate World, introduces the growth of cocoa fruit and the production and processing of chocolate. Compared to the Shiroi Koibito Factory Store, it's more convenient to stroll around the airport. You don't need to rush and you can basically complete the chocolate popular science. There are also many types of chocolates to choose from, suitable for souvenirs. There are many forms of dining, including food streets, seafood markets, and standalone stores. Each restaurant's menu is displayed outside, so you can eat wherever you want. Because I've been in Hokkaido for so long, I don't think there's any restaurant that can only be eaten at the airport, so I don't quite understand why everyone queues up for ramen shops 😂 Everyone can choose according to their own taste. 4️⃣Amusement 💫Doraemon Amusement Park It's really a childhood dream to have a Doraemon💙 When you go in, there's an interactive area first, with drawing, feeding Doraemon 'Dorayaki', etc. Once you pass this area, you can't go back. The next area is for taking pictures, and finally there's a real Doraemon for interactive photos 📷. It takes about half an hour to an hour to visit, and kids have a lot of fun 🤗 We didn't have time to go to the Hello Kitty Amusement Park. 💫Stamping The first stamping point is at the hall in Figure 10. There are 6 points in total, each with 2 stamps. You can find them all by looking at the map. If you can't find them, you can ask me haha

If you take a flight from Hokkaido New Chitose Airport, be sure to arrive a few hours early, this airport is good for eating and shopping. This is my third time at New Chitose Airport, there are many more interesting shops than a few years ago, Ramen Street, ROYCE Chocolate Factory, Hello Kitty Sanrio Pavilion, Crayon Shin-chan Pavilion, the most attractive to me is still the Doraemon block, sitting on a small bench as a child waiting for the weekly update of 'Doraemon' is a forever happy memory. How many times I have fantasized about how great it would be if the blue fat man was by my side~ The Doraemon Park at New Chitose Airport includes a suitable baby's playground (free), library, themed coffee diner, shop, DIY workshop, and a charged theme park. 🎫I have never been to the theme park that requires a ticket, I never have enough time to visit, actually I really want to go. Friends who have been there say that many scenes from the comics have been reproduced inside, there is a playground for everyone, Nobita's home, and many technology interactive experiences. 🍴The coffee diner's products are especially suitable for taking pictures, the shapes of pizza, pasta, burgers, memory bread, cheese curry rice, coffee, ice cream are all in line with the theme, and the price is good. 🛝The free children's play area is suitable for children under 6 years old, there are not many facilities, the facilities are round and you can let them play with confidence. 📖The library and workshop are together, the library contains a large number of Doraemon comics from different periods. The experience price of the workshop is not expensive, for example, 500 yen for a relief painting. 🛒The theme shop is too good to visit, there are many limited edition products. Every time I come, I have a harvest, this time I bought a small pot with a handle for brewing fruit tea, a Kutani-yaki teacup and small plate, and a Doraemon character-shaped pottery. Well, it's already considered restrained...

Finally got the chance to explore New Chitose Airport during my year end trip ! It’s definitely worth catering some extra time to explore the airport ! Some of the highlights includes: 1️⃣ New Chitose Airport Onsen! Yes! It’s a full fledge onsen with outdoor open air baths! Definitely worth a visit either before or after your Hokkaido escapade! 2️⃣ Ramen Street 🍜! With more than 6 famous ramen stalls all in one stretch, you really can get a final dose of your Hokkaido/sapporo ramen! 3️⃣ CREMIA Icecream! 🍦 This particular one, CREMIA is a must-try! We even managed to try it side by side with the famous Shiroi Koibito icecream. CREMIA had an unanimous win! Unlike other airports, New Chitose Airport is an upgraded airport where you can really take some time to discover ! #freehotelstay

#2024wish In 2015, I embarked on an unforgettable journey to Hokkaido, where the air was crisp and the landscapes painted in serene beauty. The adventure began with my very first footprint in New Chitose Airport, a bustling gateway to the wonders of the northern Japanese island. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, Hokkaido offered enchanting vistas, soothing hot springs, and delectable local cuisine. Each step through the charming towns and pristine wilderness left indelible memories. Now, in 2024, as I reminisce about that magical trip, a fervent desire stirs within me – a wish to return and relive those cherished moments in Hokkaido's embrace. In 2024, I wish to go there again.

Recommended Sapporo, Japan gifts / Chitose Airport duty-free shop shopping list The duty-free shop is small, but it has a variety of alcohol and desserts. Since you can buy up to 2 bottles of alcohol per person, I bought Hokkaido-limited sake Junmai Daiginjo and Sapporo Classic Beer, and I bought a variety of cookies for dessert (ISHIYA, LETAO, Ryugetsu-an Butter Sand) #SapporoTravel #NewChitoseAirport #SapporoDutyFreeShop #SapporoAirportDutyFreeShop #SapporoSouvenirRecommendation #SapporoShopping

We flew in and out of Chitose Airport when visiting Hokkaido and Sapporo. It is a small airport but packed with plenty of fun stuff. There are souvenir shops selling Hokkaido treats, clothing stores such as Uniqlo, and Pokemon-themed shops. My favorite was Smile Road, which included a Royce’s Chocolate World - there was an exhibit on the history of chocolate, and even a factory where you could watch workers behind the glass making chocolate and see the different processes involved. #timetotravel #japan #hokkaido #chitose
