Where we'd actually go.
Café SKY Library
CAFÉ SKY LIBRARY is the most distinctive independent lounge at CTS — a literary-themed space on the International Terminal's 4th floor with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. It takes both DragonPass and Priority Pass, giving it the widest membership access of any lounge here, and sits landside so you can use it before security.
ANA Suite Lounge
The ANA SUITE LOUNGE in the Domestic Terminal is the top-tier ANA experience at New Chitose, with generously spaced seating, tarmac views and a calm, refined atmosphere for Star Alliance Gold and ANA premium passengers.
Super Lounge
Super Lounge in the Domestic Terminal welcomes pay-in guests as well as holders of eligible Japanese-issued credit cards, with comfortable seating, power points and refreshments — the most practical walk-in option if you don't have airline status.
JAL Diamond Premier Lounge
The JAL Diamond Premier Lounge is the highest-tier JAL space at CTS, serving domestic First Class and top-elite passengers with natural materials, massage chairs, expansive tarmac views and a quiet, private atmosphere accented by commissioned Japanese art.

How to get into lounges at CTS.
New Chitose splits cleanly by terminal: the Domestic Terminal is airline-lounge territory (ANA for Star Alliance, JAL for oneworld), while the International Terminal carries the independent lounges on DragonPass and Priority Pass. A couple of lounges also take eligible Japanese credit cards or sell pay-in entry. Check which terminal your flight uses before deciding, as the two buildings are linked only by a connecting passage.
DragonPass
DragonPass opens the independent lounges in the International Terminal — CAFÉ SKY LIBRARY and the airside North Lounge. It's the most useful single membership if you're flying internationally from CTS.
DragonPassPriority Pass
Priority Pass is accepted at CAFÉ SKY LIBRARY on the International Terminal's 4th floor. Coverage is narrower than DragonPass here, so confirm your specific lounge before you travel.
Priority PassAirline & alliance lounges
ANA runs the ANA LOUNGE and ANA SUITE LOUNGE in the Domestic Terminal for Star Alliance Gold and ANA premium passengers, and JAL operates the Sakura and Diamond Premier lounges for oneworld and JAL elites. The Royal Lounge in the International Terminal serves SkyTeam, Star Alliance and oneworld status holders.

SkyTeamJapanese credit cards
The Super Lounge in the Domestic Terminal admits holders of various eligible Japanese-issued credit cards (the long-standing 'card lounge' model common at Japanese airports), alongside paying guests.
Walk-in / pay-per-use
Several CTS lounges admit paying guests without status or a membership — the Super Lounge and Travelers Lounge sell pay-in entry, and the JAL lounges also accept pay-in guests subject to their rules.
Know before you go.
Mind the terminal
- —CTS has separate Domestic and International terminals connected by a 3rd-floor passage — pick a lounge in the building you're flying from.
- —The airline lounges (ANA, JAL) are on the domestic side; the DragonPass and Priority Pass lounges are on the international side.
- —Domestic-to-international connections mean walking between the two buildings, so allow time for the transfer.
Membership strategy
- —DragonPass covers more CTS lounges than Priority Pass — the better single membership to carry for international departures.
- —CAFÉ SKY LIBRARY takes both DragonPass and Priority Pass, so it's the safest membership bet here.
- —If you only hold Priority Pass, plan around CAFÉ SKY LIBRARY rather than assuming wider coverage.
Pay-per-visit options
- —No status or membership? The Super Lounge in the Domestic Terminal admits pay-in guests and eligible Japanese credit cards.
- —The Travelers Lounge in the International Terminal is a simple pay-per-use space before security — basic, but it gets you a seat.
- —Many Japanese 'card lounges' are alcohol-light; expect soft drinks and snacks rather than a full buffet at the pay-in options.
Hokkaido timing
- —CTS is busiest around the morning and evening Tokyo banks on the domestic side — arrive early at peak to be sure of a lounge seat.
- —Winter weather can delay Hokkaido flights; a lounge is a comfortable place to wait out a snow hold.
- —The international schedule is concentrated around a few daily banks, so the international lounges are quietest between them.
