A must-see for first-time visitors to Hokkaido! A surprising paradise and gourmet food paradise at New Chitose Airport

As Hokkaido's air gateway, New Chitose Airport is more than just a boarding point; it's a "sky theme park" filled with surprises and fun. First-time visitors to Hokkaido can fully experience the island's exquisite, delicious, and playful atmosphere just by being at the airport. A must-see is ROYCE' Chocolate World in the domestic terminal. Besides selling a variety of popular chocolates, it also features a transparent glass display tunnel, allowing you to witness the chocolate-making process up close. The robotic arms and chocolate molds dance with breathtaking speed. For first-time travelers to Hokkaido, this "sweet technological prowess" is a stunning welcome gift. On the third floor, at Smile Road, you'll find the playful Doraemon Sky Park, featuring classic props and character photo booths that transport you back to childhood. Children can run wild in the indoor playground, while adults can enjoy the merchandise. It's a perfect family outing, rain or shine. If you're tired of strolling around and want a proper meal, don't miss the charming "City Dentsu Shokudo Street" on the 4th floor. Here, you'll find a wide selection of Hokkaido specialties, including ramen, seafood donburi, and fried chicken set meals. Savor the authentic flavors of northern Japan through local delicacies. Also highly recommended is the "Freshness Burger," a favorite among locals and tourists alike, in the scenic food court where you can watch planes take off and land. The juicy, piping hot hamburger patties, freshly grilled, are so irresistible that I even bought two to take on the plane. The entire airport embodies Hokkaido in miniature, blending playfulness, sophistication, and a feast for the senses. You'll be eager to return before you even leave the airport. #Hokkaido #NewChitoseAirport #FamilyFriendlyDestinations
