Sapporo Royal Lounge

The Royal Lounge, located on the 4th floor of Sapporo New Chitose Airport's international terminal, is known for its relatively quiet atmosphere. The airport noise is blocked out by a single door, and the interior is characterized by warm lighting and spacious sofas. While seating is ample, the view of the runway is limited, making it a more comfortable space for relaxation than for enjoying the scenery. The food is primarily Japanese snacks. Simple but hearty options include ramen, chicken karaage, onigiri, and miso soup. A wide selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are also available. Many reviewers say it's "not quite hotel breakfast quality, but adequate for an airport lounge." The atmosphere is perfect for relaxing with a simple dish before a flight. Showers are also available. Many find them convenient for use before long-haul flights, and if you time your visit right, you'll be able to enjoy a pleasant experience. However, the entry requirements are somewhat strict. Only business class passengers, cardholders with certain credit cards, or frequent flyers are eligible for entry, and separate ticket purchases are not permitted. Overall, this lounge prioritizes "tranquility" over "luxury." While the view from the windows is mostly of the runway rather than airplanes, it's considered a spacious enough space for quiet relaxation or a meal. This tranquil atmosphere is said to embody Sapporo's signature relaxed atmosphere.
