Fly direct from Manila to Sapporo on Cebu Pacific and experience Hokkaido’s legendary powder, vibrant culture, and world-class dining.
Great news for powder lovers and sushi aficionados — Cebu Pacific is making your winter getaway easier than ever. The airline has just launched non-stop flights from Manila to Sapporo, opening up a direct route to Japan’s northernmost island.
Instead of stressing over connecting flights and 10 hours in transit, these new direct flights cut travel time in half so that Filipinos can swap the Philippines’ tropical heat for Hokkaido’s sweater weather in just five hours. Flight 5J152 will fly three times a week, taking off from Manila in the morning aboard an Airbus A320neo and touching down at New Chitose Airport just in time for dinner.
Now that Sapporo, the gateway to Japan’s best ski resorts, is more accessible than ever, you’ll want to make the most of your trip and explore its neighboring snow destinations, especially the Powder Triangle of Niseko, Rusutsu and Furano.
Just a short ride away, Niseko boasts pristine champagne powder, a lively après-ski scene, and an endless list of top-tier restaurants and bars. (Here’s our most recent roundup of the hottest restaurants and exciting pop-ups.)
If you’re after something quieter, Furano delivers long, uncrowded runs, breathtaking blooms in the summer, and small town Japanese charm. Here you can ski until spring as the Furano Zone closing on May 6, 2025
Meanwhile, Rusutsu’s family-friendly slopes and unrivalled views of Mount Yotei make it a must-visit for all ages. Rusutsu Resort has everything you need, including onsen in the winter and proximity to golf courses in the summer.
Wherever you choose, The Luxe Nomad has the perfect stay — whether it’s a ski-in ski-out chalet with a private onsen or a sleek penthouse with panoramic vistas.
Excited yet? Pack your gear, bring your appetite, and let Cebu Pacific fly you straight to the alpine paradise of Hokkaido.
