Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore Lake Shikotsu’s shore and Chitose Aquarium near the city center. These stops span a broad area beyond the airport, so check travel time and return transport.

This guide covers places within Chitose, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?
