New Chitose Airport to Sapporo: Private Transfer

Meet your driver at the Arrival Hall and ride straight to your hotel without waiting for a shuttle or navigating the train.

Private transfer from New Chitose Airport (CTS) to Sapporo City in a clean, air-conditioned vehicle driven by a licensed professional. The operator runs 24 hours a day and matches you with a sedan (up to 3 passengers), minivan (up to 4) or van (up to 8) based on your party size and luggage. Pickup happens at the Arrival Hall. Your driver holds a name board for easy identification. Fuel and parking are included. Child seats are available on request.

The experience

After your flight lands, head to the Arrival Hall where your driver will be waiting with a name board. No hunting for a shuttle desk or decoding train schedules: the driver escorts you directly to the vehicle and takes you straight to your destination in Sapporo. The whole transfer takes around an hour, depending on traffic and your exact drop-off point.

You choose the vehicle size when you book: a sedan fits three passengers with two suitcases, a minivan holds four with four bags, or a van seats up to eight with eight suitcases. All vehicles are clean, well-maintained and air-conditioned. The driver is a licensed professional, and fuel and parking fees are already built into the price. Nothing to settle at the end. If you're traveling with an infant or small child, let the operator know at booking and they'll arrange a child seat.

The service runs around the clock, so it doesn't matter if you land at midnight or dawn. You can reach the team in English, Japanese or Chinese via WhatsApp, LINE, WeChat, KakaoTalk, Zalo or Viber if you need to adjust your pickup time or have questions before arrival.
