This is far from most other places. But trust me, MAKE THIS DRIVE HERE. This place is beautiful. The view is beautiful. The air is fresh, the setting is perfectly made. It's not a highland farm per se so it's a bit of poor labelling. It's a place to see an amazing view of Hokkaido. There's ample parking. Ice cream, small restaurant with some mains like burgers / sandwiches here. Mainly beautiful views Man, Japan is something else....

Beautiful view and the food is a must try! The hamburger was great and the Dark chocolate-vanilla mix ice cream was divine!

Beautiful views in a relaxing and serene setting. We had their ice cream, burger, and milk. All of which we enjoyed. Highly recommend stoping over here if it is on the way for you( and even if it is not).

Wow. If you are looking for a peaceful outdoor experience unmarred by the hustle and bustle of civilization and breath taking views, This is the place. Grassy hills and random rocks litter the area and is a nice way to stretch the legs and take in the scenery. If you are hungry, or craving a small snack, a restaurant sells lunch items near by. Food is great anywhere you go when in japan so i wouldn't fret on what to get. It's all good. I recommend getting the chocolate and vanilla mixed soft serve and potato fries.

Huge farm land. Great view from terrace. A pity that the constant loud announcements of the numbers when food is ready really disturbs the peace of the place. I found it annoying. Good hamburger and ice cream

Wasn't able to see anything due to the fog. Should be quite nice when there is no fog.

Came here at 11.30am but cow went to pastures, not sure when they will be back

Amazing views, weather is excellent 👌 Have to stay here for at least a night

Passed by this lake while driving through to Taushubestu River Bridge and was not disappointed. Was pleasantly surprised to see such a wonderful and beautiful lake that I have to stop and admire the view.

Lake Shikaribetsu is a beautiful high altitude natural lake. It’s protected so there is no development except for the onsen and a campground. The lake water is clear and the mountains rise up in all directions.

If you love natural surround you, しかりべつ湖 always not let you despair!

Beautiful lake, even better if you take someone to do the rowing ..

Nice place to stay in and out of the city.We went here during winter festival.

I don't imagine to go there by my Honda Fit, not 4WD, just FF. If weather is fine, you can access here easily by car. I went there in the begining of February. It is mid-winter in Hkkaido. Lake Shikaribetsu has a snow and ice festival in this time. You can stay in the ice hotel and enjoy ice bar on the lake. Also they have a hot spa on the lake. Tkis is the really special hot spa you can enjoy only in this period. That's a terrific experience you'll ever have.

(Translated by Google) Former site of Horoka Station on the Shihoro Line I often stop here when sightseeing in the area. There is also a parking space nearby. There was no one else there, so I was able to stroll around leisurely in an atmosphere where time seemed to stand still. The platform and station sign. It is a simple station with just the tracks and a switch, but that is what makes it so wonderful. I hope it will remain forever. (Original) 士幌線幌加駅跡 周辺観光の際は度々寄っています。 すぐ近くに駐車スペースもあります。 他に誰もいなかった事もあり まるで時間が止まったような雰囲気でゆっくり散策できました。 ホームと駅看板。線路軌道、それにポイントがあるだけの簡素な駅ですが、それがまた素晴らしいですね。 いつまでも残していただきたいと感じます。

(Translated by Google) I visited at around 8am, and the rain had stopped, so I was able to see the old abandoned Shihoro Line for the second time. It was a fantastical world. If you visit Shihoro Town, I highly recommend this abandoned line, as well as Taushubetsu. However, it is cold in the morning, even in summer, so short sleeves are not suitable. Also, it was well-maintained when I visited twice, and I hope that this abandoned line will still be there in 10 or 20 years. (Original) 朝方の８時ぐらいに訪れ、雨も止み、二度も士幌線の旧廃線を見る事が出来、幻想的な世界でした。士幌町へ訪れた際は、タウシュベツもそうですが、此方の廃線も是非オススメします。ただ、朝方は、夏でも寒く、半袖は不向きです。また、二度訪れた際も綺麗に手入れされていましたが、１０年後、２０年後もこの廃線が残っている事を願っています。

(Translated by Google) Visited in mid-August 2025 This is the former site of Horoka Station on the former Japan National Railways Shihoro Line, located right next to the Horoka Snow Removal Station. I always stop here for a break when traveling along the Nukabira National Highway, and it always offers a different view. There is also a parking lot on the Horoka Station side, but it's gravel and can only accommodate a small number of cars. (Original) 2025.08中旬 訪問 幌加除雪ステーションのすぐ横にある旧国鉄士幌線・幌加駅の跡地です。糠平国道を通行の際は休憩を兼ねていつも立寄ってますがその時々の情景を見せてくれます。 幌加駅側にも駐車場はありますが砂利となっており駐車台数もそれほど多くは停まれません。

(Translated by Google) Visited on May 27, 2025. It has a nostalgic atmosphere. It operated from 1939 to 1978. The parking lot is along the road, but I accidentally parked in the snow removal station next door (free, toilets available) (Original) 2025.5.27に訪問。 ノスタルジックな雰囲気になります。 昭和14から53年まで運行。 駐車場は道沿いなのですが間違えて隣りの除雪ステーションに入ってしまいました（無料、トイレあり）

(Translated by Google) This is the remains of a station on the abandoned Shihoro Line of the former Japanese National Railways. It was one stop before the terminal station, Tokachi Mitsumata. The remains of the Shihoro Line are famous for the Taushubetsu River Bridges, and it is a place where you can see many nostalgic remains. (Original) 廃線となった旧国鉄士幌線の駅跡。終着駅の十勝三又のひとつ手前の駅でした。士幌線の鉄道遺構はタウシュベツ川橋梁群が有名で、郷愁をさそう遺構を数多く見ることのできる場所です。

(Translated by Google) The grass-covered tracks and platform are reminiscent of their former glory. It's located at the back right as you approach from the parking lot. It would be helpful if they put up a sign in the parking lot saying "→ Former Horoka Station, ◯◯ meters away." There's no signal in this area, so if you're using Google Maps to navigate, I recommend downloading offline maps. (Original) 芝生に包まれた線路とプラットフォームに在りし日の姿が偲ばれます 駐車場から向かって右側奥にあります 駐車場に「→幌加駅跡◯◯メートル」と案内看板を建ててくれれば親切なのにと思います この辺の電波は圏外なのでGoogleに案内させる場合はオフラインマップを落としておく事をオススメします

(Translated by Google) It once flourished as a center of the lumber industry, and it seems that many people used the station to commute to school, but now all that remains are the foundations of the platform and the tracks, with no trace of its former glory, and it is a quiet place. (Original) かつては材木産業の中心地として栄え、通学での利用客もいたようだが、今となってはホームの土台と線路が残されたのみで、往時の面影もなく、静かなときが流れている。

We could only view it from a distance - there was no actual route to get down to the lake. Seems like we were the only ones there as well and it would not have felt safe to get down to lake during middle of March with no clear directions/pathway. Others who arrived shortly after left within minutes as well. Quite a long drive to get here too - not sure what to see and the cellphone signal is bad too. There was a cafe nearby in the town where we could view the lake but ultimately it was inaccessible to get down & cafe is only open during summer times.

(Translated by Google) During the coldest months, the area freezes completely, making it a popular place for activities such as fishing for smelt and visiting the Taushubetsu River Bridge. Of course, you can also see ice bubbles inside the ice. For the 2023-2024 season, the lake has been declared safe from freezing on January 2, 2024, so many people have been visiting since that day, as if they were waiting for that. To access the lake during the coldest months, park your car on the roadside near the Gonosawa bus stop and follow the beast road near the stream where the Shihoro Line Gonosawa Bridge ruins are located to reach the lake. Depending on the snow conditions, I got the impression that it was possible to walk on the lake surface even without snowshoes or snowshoes. However, it is a bit slippery, so it might be a good idea to use some simple crampons. The surface of the lake is windswept and -10 degrees Celsius is warm during the coldest months? It can get cold at a very low level, so you need to be careful and careful about how to protect yourself from the cold. Snow mountain equipment is required. Also, if it's sunny, I'll get snowy eyes if I don't wear eyewear. Also, if you want to watch Ice Bubble during the snowy season, you'll need something like a deck brush! (Original) 厳寒期は全面凍結し、ワカサギ釣りやタウシュベツ川橋梁を見に行くアクティビティで賑わう場所です。もちろん氷の中にはアイスバブルも見ることができる。2023～2024年シーズンは2024/01/02から湖面の凍結安全宣言が出ているのでそれを待っていたかのように多くの人が当日から足を運んでいる。 厳寒期のアクセスは五ノ沢のバス停付近の路肩に車を止めて、士幌線五の沢橋梁跡がある沢に近い獣道地を伝って湖面に出ます。積雪の状況にもよりますがスノーシューや輪かんじきがなくとも湖面を歩くことはできた印象です。ただそこそこ滑るので簡易アイゼン的なものはあってもいいかもしれない。湖面は吹きさらし、厳寒期は-10℃があったかい方？なレベルで冷えるので防寒は入念に入念を重ねることが求められる。雪山装備必須です。あとは晴れたらアイウェアもないと雪目になる。あとはアイスバブルを積雪期に観たいのでしたらデッキブラシ的なやつ必須ですよ！

(Translated by Google) An artificial lake in Nukabira Onsenkyo, Kamishihoro Town. It is a reservoir lake created on the Otofuke River by the Nukabira Dam. It is famous for the Taushubetsu River Bridge. As time passes, weathering progresses, making it a scenic spot that can never be seen again. In addition to Nukabira Onsen, river fish such as smelt and yamame salmon are released into the lake, making it a popular tourist spot for fishing enthusiasts. As it is located in the mountains, bears may appear, so please be careful.

(Translated by Google) The image was taken on January 20th of this year. It was a warm winter this year, and I couldn't go on the lake on January 31st. Also, the ice bubbles were covered in snow, so I couldn't look for them on my own...I dug them earlier. You can just see the ice bubbles after people clear the snow...I think it would be a good idea to flag the areas where the ice bubbles are appearing before the snow piles up. If you could see Mott Ice Bubbles in ice machines at skating rinks, more tourists would come... (Original) 画像は今年の1月20日に撮影した画像です　今年は暖冬で1/31で湖上にいけなくなってしまいました　またアイスバブルは雪が積もっていて自力で探すことはできず・・前に掘った人が雪をどけた後にあるアイスバブルを見ることができるくらいです・・雪が積もる前にアイスバブルが出でいる所をフラッグを立ててくれればイイと思います。スケート場の製氷機でモットアイスバブルが見れるようになれば観光客もっとくるのに・・ざんねんです

(Translated by Google) 2022.1.27 I walked from the smelt fishing parking lot to see the Taushubetsu River Bridge and ice bubbles. The lake was covered with snow almost completely, and there was only a small amount of ice where you could see ice bubbles. Looking at the Taushubetsu River Bridge for the first time in 15 years, It was much more broken down than before. As we traversed the snowy surface of the lake, there were several times when we heard a tremendous rumbling sound, and at times it felt as if the ice beneath our feet was being lifted up by a swell, which was quite frightening. I think in about 10 years, it will look like it has been cut off in several places. The weather was nice, the blue sky was the most beautiful against the white scenery, and the snow on the lake sparkled in the morning sun like diamond sand. The snow on the lake was shaped like a white desert and was beautiful. (Original) 2022.1.27 ワカサギ釣りの駐車場から歩いて、タウシュベツ川橋梁とアイスバブルを見に行きました。 湖は雪がほぼ全面雪が積もっていて、アイスバブルが見れる氷はほんの僅かでした。 タウシュベツ川橋梁は、15年振りに見ると、 以前よりかなり崩れていました。 湖の雪の上を横断中に、何度か物凄い地鳴りの様な音がして、足元の氷がウネリで持ち上がるかのような感じが伝わってくる時もあり、かなり恐怖でした。 後10年くらいで、何ヶ所が途切れた形になってしまうかと思います。 天気が良くて、白一面の景色の上に青空が最高に綺麗で、朝日に湖の雪がキラキラダイヤモンドの砂のように光ってました。 湖の雪も、白い砂漠のような形になっていて、綺麗でした。

My plan was to stay there for 4 days for skiing at the town. But sadly they have a races on my stay (schools ski races), the slopes was not open for publics. So make me need to change my plan and moved to others places to stay. I think they should publish on them official website or office FB page to others people know they will not open for the public.

Decent ski field good for racing with a great fis race

Good

Ski and have SPA

(Translated by Google) 2024.3.10 Nukabira Genkyo Ski Resort has made its debut. On that day, a junior technical championship was being held. This season, the Tokachi region has light snow and a warm winter, but even though it was around mid-March, it was possible to ski in a wonderful slope here. There is a little less snow than usual, so the bushes are showing in some places, but you can still enjoy it. On this day, the 2024-2025 final test drive event was being held by Parson from Obihiro. I used to work at Sahoro, but this time I got to test drive a different model from next year. It was a happy moment. thank you very much.

If Obihiro Airport becomes international and flights to Fukuoka, Osaka, Nagoya, and Tokyo are established, the second and third lifts are restored, and direct buses to Obihiro Airport are improved, it is a valuable place that has the potential to catch the inbound wave.

(Translated by Google) Visited for the first time in several years. Although it had bottomed out, there was still about 20cm of powder left, so this season I was finally able to ski without worrying about scratching my board. Ah, how happy I would be if I could climb two more climbs like I used to... (Original) 数年ぶりに訪問。底づきしてしまいますが20cm位のパウダーも残っていて、今シーズンやっと板の傷付きを心配しないで滑れました。あ～昔のように後2本上れたならばどんなに幸せなことだろうか・・・

Lake Kunabira is incredibly beautiful, but what's even more special is its captivating bridge, practically submerged in the summer and only visible in the winter. From the signposted viewpoint on the main road, walk about 200 meters through the primeval forest to reach the lake. The entire forest is filled with the breath of nature, and gazing at the mysterious bridge from the lakeside is so enchanting that we wouldn't have left if the repeated roars of bears hadn't drawn us to the road.

Beautiful scenery around an old railroad bridge. With the construction of the Nukabira Dam, the bridge became submerged for part of every year. It's now falling apart, and part of the bridge is likely to fall down in the next few years.

Nice looking old bridge. We saw it from the opposite side of the lake. There was a car park on route 273 and a short walk to the riverside where you can get a good view.

Walk on the lake to there !

Incredible place. However be careful with the route around the lake in the forest which it shown on google maps: It exists only on the map.

Beautiful landmark, in a quiet location with little to no tourists.

The bridge can be seen only when the water level goes down. Visit in Winter.

Misleading photos. The view is through a forest at a far distance from the bridge. It will be nice if someone described the place so others might not be misled to travel such a distance to great disappointment. There isn't any network at this area so please download your offline maps.

There are space along the road to safely park the car. The trail is about 180m. The bridge looks small from the observation deck. We are the only one there at 5pm.

No proper parking, just a roadside stop. Take a short hike to a clearing and see the old bridge. Underwhelming in my opinion because it's quite far off, and view is narrow. No information on English.

A really far viewpoint (for perspective, my photo here is at 2X zoom), but I guess the best place to view the bridge (unless taking the hike to it, which needs to be booked in advance). A really quick stop here.

Great to have a look on a historical site, especially at a time that its not flooded with water or covered with snow. Sad thing is the bridge is far away even from the observation deck.

The most wonderful abandoned train bridge I ever seen before 📷 20 October 2023

It was a sudden stop, so it was a view from afar. I think it would have been even better if it was a distance (very close) to go on a nature guided tour.

(Translated by Google) Visited 2024-7-21. Admission fee is cheap at 100 yen. Materials related to the former National Railway Shihoro Line, which was abolished in March 1987, are on display. Materials from the active era are summarized in a compact manner. The altitude of this area is about 530m, and I think the railroad was well laid from Obihiro to here. Around the museum, Nukabira Station's station name sign (possibly a restored one?), tracks, and caboose are also on display. There is also the Higashi Daisetsu Nature Museum nearby, so we recommend visiting it as well (it's free). In addition, Nukabira Dam cards are also distributed at the Higashi Daisetsu Shizenkan. (Original) 2024-7-21訪問。入場料は100円と格安。1987(昭和62年)年3月に廃止となった旧国鉄士幌線に係わる資料が展示されています。現役時代の資料がコンパクトにまとめてあります。この辺の標高は530m程度あり、帯広からここまでよく線路を敷設したなと思います。資料館周辺には糠平駅の駅名標(多分復元？)や線路、車掌車も展示されています。付近にひがし大雪自然館もあるので併せて見学がお勧めです(こちらは無料)。なお、ひがし大雪自然観では糠平ダムカードも配布していますよ。

A well maintained rail museum documenting the history of railway services in the area. The interior is small but filled with information. Entrance is 100yen. What's disappointing however is probably there's only one rail car left outdoors. The disused track though is pretty long and one can actually take a walk around the premise too.

(Translated by Google) I saw it in a magazine and wanted to see it for myself, so I went there! The sight of the railroad tracks in the forest really struck a chord with me. (Original) 雑誌で見かけて実際に見たいと思い訪問しました！森林の中に線路が敷かれている光景が胸にギュンときました💗

(Translated by Google) When heading south from the Sounkyo area, it is located just before the famous Taushubetsu Observation Deck. It is close to National Route 273 and can be seen from the car window, but there is also a promenade leading from the nearby snow removal station. (If you go along the promenade behind the snow removal station and go to the right, you will see the old Horoka Station, and if you go to the left you will see the ruins of this bridge.) However, since it is difficult to see from the promenade, you may be tempted to see it from the national highway, but as others have said, please be careful of car traffic. (Original) 層雲峡方面から南下してくる際、有名なタウシュベツ展望台よりも手前にあります。国道273号からほど近く車窓からも見えますが、近くの除雪ステーションからの遊歩道も整備されています。 （除雪ステーションの裏の遊歩道を向かって右側に進むと旧幌加駅、左側に進むとこちらの橋梁跡に） ただ、遊歩道からは見えづらいのでついつい国道から見たくなりますが、他の方も書かれているとおりクルマの往来には気を付けてください。

(Translated by Google) It is a bridge about 5 minutes on foot from the old Horoka station. You can go from either the abandoned railway track or along the road. (Original) 旧幌加駅から徒歩で5分くらいの橋梁です。廃線跡、道路沿いのどちらからでも行くことができます。

(Translated by Google) Fifth tone Saragawa Bridge Total length 109m, largest art span 23m (Original) 第五音更川橋梁 全長109m 最大アーチスパン23m

(Translated by Google) It's a magnificent appearance that gives you the illusion of when the train was still crossing the bridge. Especially because the bridge is tall. The lookout point from the promenade may be difficult to see because the vegetation grows abundantly depending on the season. It is about 5 to 6 minutes on foot from the Horoka parking lot next to the snow removal station near Takinosawa Bridge. (Original) 列車がまだ橋を渡っていた頃の幻想を抱ける様な立派な佇まいですね。 橋に高さがあるので尚更です。 遊歩道からの展望ポイントは時期によって草木が豊かに生い茂るので見えにくくなってしまうかも。 滝の沢橋近く、除雪ステーション横の幌加駐車場から徒歩5~6分程です。

(Translated by Google) I was able to see it from Takinosawa Bridge, a short walk from the snow removal station parking lot. There is a footpath up to the bridge, but there is none on the bridge, so be careful of cars. If you go down the mountain road next to the bridge, you can get to the bridge ruins, but entry is prohibited. (Original) 除雪ステーションの駐車場から少し歩いて行くと、滝の沢橋から見ることができました。橋までは歩道がありますが、橋には無いので、車に注意してください。 橋の脇の山道をちょっと降りると橋梁跡のすぐ近くまで行けますが立入り禁止です。

Although seemingly a small airport, it offers convenience with a 7-Eleven in the arrivals lobby and several shops and restaurants in the departures area. Parking is free for up to 60 minutes, making it a convenient choice for short visits.

For a "small" airport, I was impressed by its facilities and amenities, and also the Japan Airlines counter service and Airport security clearance staff who were very helpful and friendly towards me as a foreign tourist. As regards the amenities at this Airport, there's a large 7-Eleven on the ground or arrival floor, and on the upper or departure floor, there were several souvenir shops selling last minute Hokkaido souvenirs and bentos, as well as a standing Sushi eatery and a Soup Curry shop. And in the departure lounge itself there's a Japan Airlines "convenience store."

If you just check on Google maps how to get from the airport to Abashiri, Google make you wait in the airport one and a half hour for the next connection, however the airport buses are coordinating with the airlines and if your flight would be delayed the bus will be waiting for you which was extremely helpful!! Thank goodness we did not rely on Google and instead walked out of the airport and the bus was there waiting for our delayed flight and especially in Winter the buses are your best bet because the train station is some 30 minutes on foot and if it's full of snow and snowing in extremely cold weather it's nothing more horrible then to drag your suitcase over snow. A big kudos to the airport for having this planned out. On the way back, the bus that matches your return flight will bring you to the airport almost 2 hours before flight which might feel like a waste of time however there is a very nice restaurant where you can finally be together infamous Hokkaido soup curry that we could not find anywhere in Abashiri town. The luggage check takes longer time because they only have one lane open to scan your cabin stuff and despite the airport being small it might take more than 15-20 minutes to finally get in front of the gates however the gates are not so far, just behind the TSA.

Lovely tiny but clean airport , the soup curry store at the departure hall must try.

Nice and clean airport in hokkaido japan. You can easily jump in to shuttle bus right after you get out of the arrival hall

A nice small airport. There are restaurant and shops in 2nd floor, and nice view in 3rd floor.

A small domestic airport. Very convenient for those who want to go to Abashiri lake or Abashiri drift ice festival. A direct bus service from airport to drift ice festival site. In the 2nd floor of the airport building there are some souvenir shops. There is an observation desk.

Cute bear paw prints while waiting for your luggage! Great idea 💡 👍

Typical rural airport. Nothing special.

Obihiro airport is a small and simple airport but have all basic facilities. not a busy airport.

Not a busy airport for sure, but everything works well. Not so many choices for food but at the end you are not gonna spend much time at the airport. Outside of the city we rented a car at “Nippon car” that base a shuttle bus.

Very good location, with shuttle bus, local bus and taxi connecting with Obihiro JR train station and the downtown Obihiro. A few mins transportation to kofuku Eki park which is a park with two old train compartments in orange colored. It is good for couples. With connecting fight to TOKYO Haneda and Nagoya.

Efficient, have shuttle bus to obihiro jr station which match the plan schedule.

Cute little airport. But outside transportation and inside amenities are good enough.

This airport was the perfect size with just enough amenities to meet a couple hours while waiting for a flight. It's very close to the rental cars, especially Toyota car rentals. They have a blend of gift stores with local delicacies, various trinkets, and travel bags including tax free service if you are a foreigner. The dining options available are actually very good from local ramen to a milk stand with delicious soft serve. But I wanted to write this review because of the information desk and the service they provided after losing a phone on the car rental shuttle bus. We had just under an hour before departure, when we realized we lost our phone. We knew where we lost it, and quickly tried to call Toyota rental, but my Japanese is not advanced enough to communicate with the rental agent. I went down to the rental car area on the 1st floor and the rental desk was closed (as expected, since they only staff it when someone is expected to pickup a rental car on arrival), however the information staff understood what happened and quickly called Toyota for me and explained. After a few minutes, they said everything is okay, and the Toyota rental car agent brought my phone to the information desk!! The relief was indescribable. Thank you to the Asahikawa information booth staff for helping resolve this situation and to the Toyota rental car staff who helped to find and bring the phone back. 🙏🙏🙏

Asahikawa Airport is an excellent choice for travelers seeking convenience and efficiency. We flew in from Tokyo, and the experience was smooth from start to finish. The airport is not crowded, making it easy to navigate and stress-free compared to larger hubs. Facilities are well-maintained, with clean toilets that are a big plus for families or long-haul travelers. There’s also a food court offering a variety of meals and snacks, perfect for grabbing a quick bite before or after a flight. The souvenir shop has a good selection of local products, making it easy to pick up gifts or mementos of your trip.

Small airport but there eatery and souvenir shop where you can grab some bite and gift.

Asahikawa Airport is a charming and efficient regional airport that offers a pleasant travel experience. The airport's compact size ensures that everything is easily accessible, making the transition from landing to cab pick-up remarkably quick and hassle-free. The facilities are well-maintained and clean, with a range of dining options and souvenir shops that showcase local specialties. One of the standout features is the flight viewing deck, which provides a fantastic vantage point to watch planes take off and land. This spacious deck, complete with seating, is a delightful addition that aviation enthusiasts and families will love. On clear days, the surrounding scenery, including distant mountains, adds to the experience, making the flight viewing platform a sweet topper to an already enjoyable airport visit. Additionally, don't miss the lovely cream dispenser lady offering delicious Hokkaido milk products – a delightful treat that adds to the airport's charm.

Small and efficient. 4 minutes from landing to exit (I didn’t have luggage. Has a few shops, a Lawson, car rental and information desks. Enjoyed the charging area on the 3rd floor (it’s free) before I flew back out.

Haneda, Narita, Itami, Shin-Chitose, and some international flights are in service. In terms of companies, there is ANA JAL AirDO JetStar and some foreign airlines. There is a food court and it is okay to take a flight at noon. For some reason, there was a flight simulator (a simple one). Buses were available to Asahikawa and Furano city. The observation deck is on the second floor, where you can see airplanes up close.

parking gates are not useful, not convinient. there are two gates in main parking area. however, often only one gate is open. so you might lose your time, a few minutes- over 10 minutes, for traffic jam. no hospitality for consumers.
