Early Morning and Late Night at New Chitose Airport, and Staying Overnight

In short

At New Chitose Airport, the Domestic Terminal and the Connecting Facility open at 5:00 and close at 23:30, and the International Terminal is open 5:00–21:00. As the official floor guide says, "after the airport closes, you cannot stay overnight inside the building except at the accommodation facilities", so you cannot spend the night on a terminal bench. To stay at the airport until morning, you have 3 choices: New Chitose Airport Onsen on Domestic 4F (10:00 to 9:00 the next day, open 23 hours; staying until morning is a flat ¥4,600), or one of the two hotels connected to the airport, Air Terminal Hotel (Domestic 3F–5F) and Portom International Hokkaido (International 4F–8F). In the early morning, the first to open are the shops after security (Chaya Bishoku Sensai and Yukijirushi Parlor Gate Lounge, from 7:30), the Super Lounge (from 7:00) and the ANA and JAL lounges (from 6:30); at night, Pronto (4F, until 22:00) and the Lawson Arrivals Exit store on 1F (until 23:30) stay open the latest. The last JR train is the 23:21 Special Rapid from New Chitose Airport, which leaves on time even if flights are delayed.
