Hotel JAL City Chitose is very close to the JR station, right at the entrance, which is extremely convenient. There's a restaurant downstairs where breakfast is also served, and it's decent. It's a top choice for early morning flights. They even have a special train-themed room, perfect for train enthusiasts.

Very convenient for early morning flight. Hotel is located within meters from check in counter and shopping centre. The room is dated but it is clean.

Despite our flight delayed for 2 hours and having to arrive past midnight, the staff on duty on 3rd July night attended to and serves us well. Kudos to him as I did not able to get his name. Thank you.

Portom International Hokkaido was by far our best hotel stay in Japan so far. Directly connected to New Chitose Airport, this five-star “museum hotel” ranked 9th among the World’s Best Airport Hotels and 4th in Asia.
Our Junior Suite Double was around ¥50,000 and incredibly spacious, with a walk-in closet, stylish bathroom, sofa area, airport-facing bed, and a completely free minibar with drinks and snacks.
Don't miss the 5F art display, gym, onsen, and Guest Room lounge. Our stay also included a free drink at the 8F bar and the 4F Café Sky Library. Staff even let us use the café drink after checkout, so after exploring the airport we returned for ginger ale and Darjeeling tea among the books before our flight.
An exceptional airport hotel we'll definitely return to, especially for the quality and generous inclusions.

The room was very tidy, and the facilities were excellent, especially the bathroom, which I was most satisfied with. The location is very close to New Chitose Airport, making it convenient for those with early morning departures or late-night arrivals in Japan. For those driving, the nearby amenities are also very sufficient. The only minor drawback is the frequent overhead aircraft, especially in the morning when what sounded like fighter jets flew overhead, creating quite a bit of noise.

Clean and well designed room.
Plenty of storage space although walkway is a little narrow
no utensils.
Booking on Klook, you are unable to contact Host directly.
Klook Cust Service also took a long time to reply, without any resolution. Whereas on another platform, I could leave a message for the Host who responded same day.
Host will send link to pre-register guests day before check-in ( using another booking platform, the link was provided next day after booking).
As i pre-registered everyone before arrival, Check-in was easy. After Check-in, the Door Access code was also sent to email, in case you forgot to write down.
Will stay here again.

Chitose at a glance
Quick facts about Chitose
General info
What to know before visiting Chitose
What Chitose is known for
Chitose draws visitors mainly for Tours, Zoos & aquariums and Observation decks, with outdoor and water activities rounding out the top bookings. Klook booking data shows Tours lead the way in volume and typical spend, while Zoos & aquariums appear as a reliable, lower‑cost option for families. The city's demand follows a clear seasonal rhythm: peak atmosphere in January and a long quiet stretch around August and September. Use that rhythm to pick between bustling winter events and calmer summer sightseeing — choose whether you want crowds or calm as your decision.
Best time to visit Chitose
Chitose's busiest month is January, when demand jumps (Klook booking data indicates January is a peak month), and August is the quietest, with demand dropping sharply. Prices move through the year too: the priciest month is November and the lowest median price occurs in May, so crowds and prices don't always move together — for example, November is relatively pricey even though demand is only about average. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, consider May to August; for peak‑season atmosphere aim for January and the busier winter months.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Peak demand | HKD 2,199 |
| February | Peak demand | HKD 2,386 |
| March | Busier than usual | HKD 1,910 |
| April | Busier than usual | HKD 1,786 |
| May | Quieter than usual | HKD 1,076 |
| June | Quieter than usual | HKD 1,544 |
| July | About average | HKD 1,895 |
| August | Very quiet | HKD 1,489 |
| September | Very quiet | HKD 1,669 |
| October | Quieter than usual | HKD 1,684 |
| November | About average | HKD 2,464 |
| December | Busier than usual | HKD 1,895 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from Hong Kong
Most travellers lock in Chitose experiences about two weeks ahead, with the earliest planners booking around four weeks out (Klook booking data). That makes this market one that benefits from a little planning—book about two weeks in advance for popular activities, and earlier for January and November when demand or prices peak. If you're flexible, many options still appear within a week, but in peak months earlier booking pays. Use Klook to secure timed activities and tours in advance so you can focus on the trip once you arrive.
