For items that are sure to sell out, head there right after opening or when they arrive in stock.

If you're aiming for popular items that sell out quickly, it's best to head to the store right after opening or right when they're restocked. Freshly baked or made items often sell out by midday, so it's a good idea to check the timing in advance if you have a specific item in mind.

Narrow down your choices beforehand by browsing the airport-exclusive items feature page.

New Chitose Airport official website has a page that compiles airport-exclusive products, so checking it before departure will allow you to find your desired items without getting lost, even with limited time.

Heavy or refrigerated items can be sent to your home from baggage delivery counter.

Don't give up on buying souvenirs just because they're heavy or require refrigeration/freezing. Even limited-edition items that are difficult to carry home can be shipped to your home using the baggage delivery counter. If you want to travel light, please use the airport's "baggage storage, baggage delivery, porter services, and baggage wrapping services." Please note that you must pass through security inspection at least 20 minutes before departure, so plan your shopping and shipping accordingly and act early.
