What travelers say about Chitose
크리스구March 12, 2023
5.0
Hokkaido is the only airport where airplanes land without sea. It's about 1/3 the size of Incheon Airport, but most of the shopping and food are on the domestic side, so if you haven't tried Hokkaido ramen while traveling, there's duty-free food. And there's also Uniqlo, but it's cheaper because of the exchange rate? It's even cheaper because it's duty-free, so it's a good idea to stop by.^^

The aquarium is well worth visiting. It is very large and you can see many rare tropical fish that are rarely seen. All the fish are divided into different areas. Each area has a dedicated guide and introduction. It is really an eye-opener.

Shikotsu-Toya National Park is quite large. I came here in spring, and it should be more beautiful in the winter snow season.
According to the introduction, Shikotsu-Toya National Park has Shikotsu Lake, Toya Lake, etc.
There are Chinese brochures in the visitor center, and the circular automatic guide can also select Chinese. There are also paintings introducing various birds throughout the year.
I also encountered a children's painting exhibition jointly organized by the Chitose Ministry of the Environment and Kao

The Northland Horse Farm Theme Park is also a very interesting place. The entire horse farm is a very large space. The theme park has many parent-child projects, including some unique equestrian performances. You can watch regular equestrian performances and horse riding competitions.
