New Chitose Airport: One of Hokkaido’s Key Flight Paths

Welcoming over twenty million passengers annually on domestic and international routes, New Chitose Airport is a key entryway to Hokkaido. The airport is home to a wealth of restaurants and shops offering Hokkaido ramen and seafood, a cinema, hot springs, and hotels.

Restaurants

Based in Sapporo’s entertainment district of Susukino, customers queue out of the doors to try out this popular miso ramen specialty store. Fortunately for travelers, there is also a branch at New Chitose Airport-truly a hidden gem for travelers looking for a quick stop-off on their Hokkaido trip.
Customers never fail to be delighted by the tender texture of the medium-thick curly ramen noodles, served in a broth carefully created by boiling pig’s feet, chicken and carefully selected vegetables for over 10 hours, and topped off with a dash of miso-a traditional Japanese seasoning.

Particularly popular with travelers are the Sundaes which, featuring a variety of toppings to choose from, offer the opportunity to try both soft and ice cream in one sitting.
