New Chitose Airport is the air gateway to Hokkaido. A certain signboard in the airport, where many tourists stop by, has become a hot topic on SNS.

It's a board that urges those who lick Hokkaido to reflect on their actions, a specialty of the New Chitose Airport station.

Just outside the ticket gates of JR New Chitose Airport Station is a signboard showing a map of Hokkaido and Honshu (the main island of Japan) superimposed on top of each other. The comments on social networking sites were "It's funny, isn't it?

Some were also surprised at the distance between cities, saying, "I wonder if the distance between Sapporo and Hakodate is longer than that between Nagoya and Osaka," and "Even Otaru and Sapporo take an hour.... It seems that many people actually planned a grueling trip and had a hard time with the unexpected travel distances.

The signboard is located in front of the ticket gate of New Chitose Airport Station

Once again, it is difficult to visit all parts of Hokkaido in one trip! and the design seems to appeal to tourists. This sign, which you will see at the beginning of your trip to Hokkaido, may have the effect of making you rethink your itinerary early on... Please be careful when you plan your trip to Hokkaido.
