JAL will start a test for a new program to support people living in Tokyo, Osaka or Nagoya who want to stay in Hokkaido temporarily for four months from July 1 to October 31 2025. The program packages flights from/to each of the three cities and a house in Hokkaido with a concierge service.
Six one-way direct flight tickets between Haneda, Itami, Kansai or Chubu (Nagoya) and Shin-Chitose (Sapporo) are available, and an apartment room with basic furniture and home appliances is offered in Sapporo City. Hokkaido-based JAL concierge supports a user from the cities and suggests enriched lifestyle in Hokkaido.
For the program, membership for ‘JAL Two-regions Living Club’ is required. The basic plan for a 1DK apartment of 35 square meters costs 250,000 yen for the main member and 150,000 yen for the accompanying member, while the premium plan for a 1LDK apartment of 50 square meters costs 400,000 yen for the main member and 200,000 yen for the accompanying member. Applications can be made for as little as one month.
