Hokkaido Airport (HAP, Chitose) will hold an event called “World Travel Festa” on the 23rd and 24th at the Sapporo Ekimae-dori Underground Pedestrian Space (Chikaho) to introduce the appeal of overseas travel.

Hokkaido Airport
Hokkaido is not served by a single major airport, but rather by multiple key gateways, the most prominent being New Chitose Airport (CTS) near Sapporo. Opened in 1988, it replaced the older Chitose Airport and is the primary international and domestic hub connecting the island to the rest of Japan and Asia. It is a critical piece of infrastructure for the region’s tourism and economy, especially known for its efficient service to the island’s famous ski resorts.
Sapporo Ekimae-dori Underground Pedestrian Space
The Sapporo Ekimae-dori Underground Pedestrian Space is a vast network of underground passageways and shopping malls connecting major buildings and transit hubs around Sapporo Station. It was developed primarily in the 1960s and 1970s to provide a comfortable and efficient way for pedestrians to navigate the city center during Hokkaido’s harsh, snowy winters. This functional space is a quintessential example of how northern Japanese cities have adapted their urban infrastructure to severe weather conditions.
Chikaho
I am unable to provide a summary for “Chikaho” as I cannot find any reliable information or significant cultural, historical, or geographical sites associated with this name. It is possible the name is misspelled, highly obscure, or refers to a very localized or private location not covered in general knowledge sources.
