As the largest airport in Hokkaido, it’s also the most convenient, with easy access to rental cars and a direct train line to Sapporo.

Serving the Sapporo metropolitan area, this bustling international airport has both domestic and international terminals, with flights to destinations like Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, and Shanghai. The airport features unique amenities such as hot spas, cinemas, and hotels for those looking to relax. With rail connections to Sapporo and Otaru, exploring Hokkaido from New Chitose Airport is incredibly convenient.
