With power to most facilities restored and its sprinkler-flooded floors now clean and dry, New Chitose Airport, Hokkaido’s main gateway, is slowly getting back to normal after Thursday’s level 7 earthquake. New Chitose Airport, southeast of Sapporo, hosted many stranded passengers but managed to avoid chaos thanks to cool heads and public cooperation. Domestic and international flights had resumed by Saturday. The Lawson store was the only one open in the international terminal on Saturday, and its management called for extra staffers from Sapporo and even as far away as Tokyo to provide help.
