Chitose, Transportation hub in Hokkaido, Japan
The New Chitose Airport processes 90 percent of air traffic in Hokkaido through its international and domestic terminals connected by railway stations.
Chitose evolved from a village established in 1880 to receive city status in 1958, developing into a strategic location for Japan Self-Defense Forces.
The Lake Shikotsu area incorporates the Ainu language heritage, as its name derives from 'shikot', meaning a large depression or hollow.
The city maintains a network of transportation with three major railway stations: JR New Chitose Airport Station, JR Chitose Station, and JR Minami Chitose Station.
The Chitose Aquarium focuses on salmon conservation, displaying their complete lifecycle while educating visitors about the species' environmental importance in the region.
