Before our flight back from Sapporo last week, we had to wait 6 hours at the airport. It was quite an annoying experience in perspective. However, the Sapporo New Chitose airport has the most amazing relaxation facilities I have ever seen! For 1,500¥ (roughly 10€) you have access to the Manyo complex where you have great hot spring baths, reasonable massage services, a lovely restaurant and some really relaxing reading/sleeping rooms.
Lobby of the premises:
Relaxation room: seats can be inclined fully like in first class and each comes with a TV; there was also a bookshelf where one could borrow books/manga. It was clearly Dave’s paradise…
My favourite place was the onsen (hot spring), obviously. Photo by manyo (it’s forbidden to take photos in the onsen area).
Delicious lunch in the restaurant: I ordered what’s called a sake oyako don, which mean “salmon mother and child”. Not a pretty name, but that’s what it is and it tasted delicious!
Finally, every customer is supplied with a yukata/pajama to wear within the premises. It feels really comfortable! It’s amazing to be so relaxed at the airport while waiting for the right time to go and check-in 🙂
