seemore 66 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hi Guys Does anyone know if thier are lockers for my snowboard bag at Chitose. Staying the night in Sapporo and can't be bothered dragging them along. Seemore Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 You're going into Sapporo and then going to come back out to Chitose the next day? Where are you headed that you'd come back to Chitose? I've never looked but I'd assume you'd find a locker big enough. Japan is pretty good for lockers at transport hubs.

Zer0star 0 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 if you can't find one i'm sure one of the takkyubin companies within the airport can help you out for a small fee. Link to post Share on other sites

They do call new chitose airport sapporo at a lot of places, I am sure he will be staying near the airport somewhere and just wants to dump his board bag. I was at new chitose yesterday and there was a shop that will hold your bags. When you head out of the baggage pick up area head hard left and walk about 100m max and its on your left. I do not know the name but they have a funny logo which caught my eye, its 2 cats, a big one with a smaller one underneath lol. The guys wear a funny green over coat, you cant miss them.

Where are you headed that you'd come back to Chitose? I've never looked but I'd assume you'd find a locker big enough. Japan is pretty good for lockers at transport hubs. The bus returns from Rusutsu to the airport so I was going to dump my gear and then go spend the day and night in Sapporo and see the ice festival then leave in the morning back to the airport. I found some lockers on the airport website but couldn't really understand if they were big enough and they cost 800jpy per 12hours. Seemore Link to post Share on other sites
panhead_pete 27 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 The hotel at the airport is cool and under $100. Have you thought about checking in, then going into town, then back to the airport that night for an easy departure in the morn? Link to post Share on other sites
seemore 66 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Hi Pete Yes thought about that but wanted to see the Ice festival at night and thought it would be easier to stay in Sapporo. Hindsight is a great thing as the hotel is booked and payed for. Seemore Link to post Share on other sites

Hindsight is a great thing as the hotel is booked and payed for. Seemore That does not mean you have to twist yourself in knots just to be there.I'd be tempted to book a room at the airport hotel, dump my bags in there and freshen up, then head into Sapporo catch what I wish of the Ice Festival knowing I had both options for the night available to me. Having a ball in Sapporo, then crash in the prepaid hotel there. Done and getting bored...then head back to Sapporo. Either way, when you do head back you have a spot to freshen up before your flight and collect your bags from. It is not the budget option. I know. But if it were not for paying for two accomodations on a few nights I would have missed half the fun stuff on our trip. Link to post Share on other sites
seemore 66 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yeah that could be the go MB Looks like getting a room will be cheaper than a locker. Seemore. Link to post Share on other sites
Zer0star 0 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Leaving a bag at Shin-chitose costs from 300 ~ 800 yen per bag for the day. Doesn't mention overnight rates. http://www.new-chitose-airport.jp/en/service/?no=13 Link to post Share on other sites
surfarthur 22 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Seemore, in the international departures area there is a place with a green circle and a cat as the logo that stores luggage, not 100% on the pricing - I saw a sign saying 800 yen per bag for the day, but did not see an overnight price. There was also one of these places in the arrivals area of the domestic airport. Link to post Share on other sites
seemore 66 Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Cheers Mate Looks like I will be taking it with me it's only 3 blocks by the look of it from the train station to hotel. Seemore Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Domestic side is 1000yen per case overnight. I have my ski bag there right now, will be picking up tomorrow afternoon. Big delays getting on the ground today. Matched by the train delays. The crabs in Sapporo made up for it though. Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 That sniffer Labrador got a few today. Some had to strip down to socks. Others into the back room. Watch out for the mutt. Link to post Share on other sites

Just out f curiosity ...what is the mutt trained to detect? Drugs?Our sniffer dogs in Perth are looking for the really evil stuff like apples and oranges and the sneaky durian smuggler. Glad you got your King Crab! They sure are impressive, but I have never slowed down enough through the airport to get it, always in a big hurry to get on snow. I might pick up a few for dinner on the way through this time... Link to post Share on other sites
seemore 66 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Yummy Crabs 1st night will be picking out at the hotel buffet. for some reason I was think that the lockers were going to cost $100AU but it is only $10AU. Thanks everyone. Seemore Link to post Share on other sites
