Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Kitami
For the majority of travelers, Memanbetsu Airport (MMB) is the clear and most practical choice for reaching Kitami. While not located in the city itself, it is the primary gateway to the region and offers the most efficient transit options, including a direct bus to the city center. Monbetsu Airport (MBE) serves the neighboring city of Monbetsu and is a viable alternative if you are exploring the northern Okhotsk coast, though ground connections are less direct. For those arriving at Kushiro Airport (KUH), expect a longer journey across eastern Hokkaido; this airport is located in the neighboring city of Kushiro and is better suited for travelers intending to visit the Akan-Mashu National Park area. Tokachi-Obihiro Airport (OBO) and Nakashibetsu Airport (SHB), also located in neighboring cities, are significantly more remote from Kitami and generally only recommended if your itinerary prioritizes travel through the southern or eastern edges of the island. Always confirm rental car availability and public transport schedules in advance, as services in these rural regions can be limited during off-peak hours.

The hotel is located with lots of great yakiniku places within minutes walking distance. There is sufficient parking at the hotel nearby areas too! There is a fabric spray in the room as well! The hotel as a sauna, onsen and some snacks available:) The room perhaps is a little small but for the price and convenience it is worth it.FromUS$61

It is a little smaller than the average Route Inn and the facilities are a little old. The location is great, a three-minute walk from Kitami station and department stores, and there is a convenience store diagonally opposite. The flat parking lot is large. Breakfast was pretty standard. If you don't clean the room, you will get free drinks.FromUS$55

Staying in Kitami and then going to Mombetsu to take the icebreaker cruise was quite convenient. The rooms were a bit larger than usual, and although the hotel was a bit old, it was still clean. There were local barbecue restaurants right outside, which were very affordable.FromUS$25

Quiet surrounding. Need to drive nearby to find food. There’s drug stores, Uniqlo, Daiso & restaurants within 10mins drive.
Hotel’s buffet breakfast was simple but tasted good and they served some speciality dishes. Coffee machine was available all day which was nice since weather was cold. Room was clean and there’s a wardrobe. Just that the pillow was too flat for me and I had to place my jacket below for better support. Not sure if front desk will give extra pillow.
Found a cafe operated by an elderly couple behind the hotel. We ordered toast which was yummy. The menu had rice dishes too.FromUS$37

It was about a 10-minute walk from Kitami Station, and the roads were easy to follow and accessible. It was a good deal even though it was the summer season, and the fact that there was a small bath was great for washing off the sweat.
The room was a single Japanese-style room, but the futon was already laid out, so I was able to lie down right away. With this type of room, the toilet is shared and not in the room, but it is still reasonably priced.
I stayed with a plan that included breakfast, and the breakfast was a single plate of Japanese food, and the rice was free to serve from the rice cooker, and it was delicious.FromUS$28

It's a bit old, but the reception and restaurant staff are very polite and considerate. This hotel, which is rare for a super hotel, does not have a large public bath. The restaurant environment is a bit like a school cafeteria with people sitting in rows. The reception desk is quite narrow and close to the elevator and the pillows are quickly used up. The public environment is generally good. There are ample parking spaces available at several locations close to the hotel. The price is reasonable at 600 yen per night. It is about 40 minutes one way from Abashiri. I chose this hotel because it is really cheap and hard to find in Abashiri. It is a good choice for self-driving tourists with limited budget.FromUS$39

I visited in early June and stayed for 2 nights. It turned from sunny to cloudy that day. Unfortunately, I didn't see the sunset. The lake view was beautiful. It was very hot in the room that day. I turned on the air conditioner but there was no wind at all, so I opened the window and just turned on the air conditioner. The wind was not blowing in from the direction of the window and we were sweating all the time. We had to call the front desk to ask if we could change rooms, but the answer was no, even though we had just arrived in the room. The front desk said they could provide electric fans, so we used them for 2 days, but it was really hot and it was very difficult to sleep at night because the quilt and bed were thick. I kept sweating while lying on them, and my face and body were sticky and itchy. Yes, people coming in summer should pay attention to air conditioning issues. It would be better to go there in autumn or winter.FromUS$222

This stay at this hot spring hotel was incredibly satisfying, from the food and rooms to the onsen facilities!
First, the restaurant's buffet was amazing, especially the huge bowl of fresh snow crab legs, the freshly made sashimi seafood bowl, along with Japanese side dishes and curry rice—a wide selection and excellent quality. The breakfast was equally excellent; the grilled salmon, tamagoyaki, bacon, and egg dishes were all delicious and very satisfying.
The rooms were traditional Japanese tatami rooms, spacious and comfortable, with snowy views from the windows. Waking up to a pure white winter scene was fantastic. The amenities and cleanliness of the room were impeccable, making for a comfortable and relaxing stay.
The public bath is also highly recommended! The onsen space was spacious and clean; relaxing in the warm water was pure bliss.
Overall, this stay was wonderful. Whether you want to enjoy a delicious seafood meal, soak in the onsen, or experience the cozy Japanese atmosphere, it's definitely worth a return visit. I'd love to stay here again!FromUS$62

Last night, I stayed at an economy chain hotel. The hardware of this hotel is definitely very qualified.
I booked two rooms respectively. When I checked in, my room did not include breakfast, so I paid extra for breakfast.
Later, my friend could not check in to the other room because the flight from Sapporo to Megumi was cancelled. I contacted Ctip.com customer service to ask if I could cancel for free, but was rejected.
Usually, if you book directly at the hotel and the flight is cancelled, you can cancel for free, so I don’t know whether it is the hotel that does not allow cancellation or Ctip’s reason.FromUS$60

A great Japanese travel homestay experience! The apartment suite is full of home experience. The left hand downstairs is the supermarket. There is everything. It is back to do it. The home appliance facilities are well equipped and practical.
The apartment is located in the northwest corner of the station square. The bustling area of the city center is very convenient. From the station square, turn left on the first street at the intersection. The top floor of a four-story commercial and residential building is the bottom. The business is a clothing store. There is an elevator for an exclusive apartment on the side.
That day, I arrived at Beijian from Lake Akan. The check-in time in Japan is usually at 3 pm. I found the apartment. The guy in the clothing store took the initiative to help me contact the landlord. The landlord arrived within three minutes and let me stay in advance. After settling in enthusiastically, Also took the initiative to help me inquire about the net icebreaker. What's the matter, responsive.FromUS$60
