Sapporo is served mainly by New Chitose Airport (CTS), the prefecture’s international and domestic gateway located about 45–50 km southeast of central Sapporo. New Chitose functions as Hokkaido’s primary hub, handling full-service carriers like ANA and JAL alongside several low-cost carriers; fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on season. Ground links include the JR Rapid Airport train to Sapporo Station (35–40 minutes, roughly moderate cost), highway buses (50–70 minutes depending on traffic, usually cheaper), and taxis or rental cars for faster door-to-door trips. The airport is well-equipped with shops and lounges, making it comfortable for transfers, though travel time to downtown is longer than many city airports.

Osaka is served primarily by two airports with different roles. Kansai International (KIX) is the region’s international hub located on an artificial island about 50–60 minutes from central Osaka by train or express bus; fares typically range from moderate to higher depending on service (airport express trains and limited express services are common). It tends to host full-service carriers and many long-haul and international low-cost flights, making it a go-to for overseas connections. Pros: comprehensive facilities and frequent rail links; cons: longer transfer times to the city and occasional premium fees for express services. Osaka’s second airport, Itami (ITM), functions mainly as the domestic gateway close to the city. Situated roughly 20–30 minutes from downtown by airport limousine bus or quick taxi ride, the trip can be inexpensive on buses or higher for taxis. Itami typically serves domestic and regional flights operated by Japan’s major carriers and some budget domestic lines, so fares are often perceived as reasonable for short hops. Pros: convenience and short transfer times; cons: limited international options and tighter terminal space compared with Kansai.
