The Experience
"We make sure you arrive without stress," the driver said when I called to confirm my flight number. That's the whole point of Tabi Daruma's airport transfer service — you land, find the welcome board with your name, and someone who's been doing this since 1958 gets you to your hotel in Sapporo without the negotiation, the language barrier, or the hunt for a taxi rank. The company's built its reputation on customer satisfaction in the Sapporo area, and it shows in the small details: they ask for your luggage count beforehand, they know your flight number, they track arrivals so there's no standing around wondering if you're in the right place.
The drive from New Chitose Airport to Sapporo takes you through the Hokkaido landscape, and if you have time and want to break up the journey, you can route via Lake Shikotsu — a scenic detour that turns a transfer into something closer to a proper arrival. The vehicle is air-conditioned, the driver speaks English, and if you're traveling with kids, child seats are available on request. Luggage goes in the trunk, not on your lap. If you're heading the other way — hotel to airport — you just tell them what time you need to leave, and they pick you up from your accommodation.
One thing to know: this is a one-way booking. If you need both directions, you'll make two separate reservations, one for arrival and one for departure. The service is wheelchair accessible, and they'll work with you even if there's a language gap, though the driver speaks English and Chinese. It's the kind of thing that sounds small until you're jet-lagged, rolling two suitcases, and someone's already waiting for you with a sign.
What’s included
- Your transfer includes private transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle, a welcome board greeting at arrivals, luggage assistance, and flight tracking so the driver knows when to expect you.
- Child seats are available upon request at no extra charge.
- If you choose the Lake Shikotsu route, that scenic detour is part of the same service.
