Fly to New Chitose Airport (CTS), then continue by road to Shikotsu Kohan. The visitor center gives approximately 30 km and 40 minutes by road from the airport, or 25 km and 30 minutes from central Chitose under ordinary conditions.
Airport 4 links the airport, Minami-Chitose, Chitose Station and Shikotsuko. Allow about one hour on the bus from the airport. The provider timetable effective April 1, 2026 shows four daily airport departures, two extra weekend/holiday journeys and a JPY 1,260 adult one-way airport-lake fare. It remains the timetable linked by the current city directory at this check. Confirm the travel-date revision before relying on a connection.
Choose a prearranged vehicle when the confirmed activity meeting time does not fit the bus. A nearby airport does not make a same-day postdive flight appropriate.
The village core is suitable for a short walking itinerary; remote shore entries and Marukoma require separately arranged transport. Confirm your actual meeting point, because a Sapporo-based operator's pickup offer does not establish collection in Chitose.
