Transportation from New Chitose Airport to City Center
The new Chitose Airport (CTS) serves Sapporo, Japan, and is the largest airport in the Hokkaidō region.
The airport is connected to Sapporo city center by JR Hokkaidō's JR Rapid Airport Line. When you reach the airport, you must first get down to the train station in the basement. You can buy your ticket here and get on the train that will go directly to the city center. You can buy the ticket from the box office or vending machines with cash or credit card.
While unnumbered seats are free, you have to pay an additional fee if you want to reserve a seat. This train departs every 15 minutes between 08:00 and 22:00 and the journey takes approximately 40 minutes. If you arrive at the airport outside of these hours, you have to use the local train lines. You can get more information about trains from the official pages of both the airport and JR (Japan Railways).
The two bus companies operating between the new Chitose Airport and Sapporo route are Hokuto Kotsu and Hokkaido Chuo Bus companies. The stops of both companies are located on the arrivals floor of the international terminal. Buses depart every 15 minutes between 05:30 in the morning and 22:30 in the evening. The journey takes about an hour depending on the traffic situation. Stops include Sapporo Station, Odori Park, and Susukino.
You can take the next taxi from the taxi stand you will see when you exit the arrivals floor and turn left. You can go to the information desk in the terminal building to indicate your need for a large or regular taxi according to the needs of your group or to get information about your route. Here you can get information from the English speaking staff.
You might also consider hiring a car from the airport, as Sapporo and Hokkaido have a lot to see in the countryside as well as in the city centre. Most of the global brands have offices in the airport terminal. It is worth remembering that in Japan, traffic flows on the left, that is, on the opposite side of us. Therefore, you must be careful while waiting for a taxi or crossing the street.
