Japan Airlines Sakura Lounge
★4.2(853 reviews)CTS
JAL's calm, cherry-blossom-accented Sakura Lounge for oneworld and JAL flyers.
The Japan Airlines Sakura Lounge is JAL's standard lounge at New Chitose, on Level 2 after security. It serves JAL premium-cabin passengers and eligible oneworld status holders. The room follows the familiar JAL Sakura template — a calm, sophisticated atmosphere built on minimalist Japanese design, with soft lighting, clean lines, muted tones and the occasional pop of cherry-blossom (sakura) motif that gives the lounge its name. Seating is comfortable and the space feels open and well maintained, with noise levels kept generally low. It's a quiet, tranquil place to settle before a flight, with the JAL Diamond Premier Lounge serving the airline's higher tiers separately. If you're flying JAL or a oneworld partner and have eligible status, the Sakura Lounge is your room at CTS.
Crowding · calm
A quiet, well-kept room with Wi-Fi and power makes this comfortable for email and light work before a flight, though it's a relaxation-focused lounge rather than a business centre.
A calm refreshment offering in the JAL Sakura style — coffee, tea and soft drinks with light snacks, served in a quiet, well-kept room. Enough to refresh before a flight rather than a full dining spread.
Dietary: Light snack options
