🏢 Terminal Guide & Navigation
Naha Airport (OKA) features an integrated terminal complex completed in 2019, seamlessly connecting the original domestic terminal (1999) with the international terminal (2014). As Japan's sixth busiest airport and a 24-hour facility, it serves over 21 million passengers annually. The domestic operations occupy the southern portion of the terminal, while international flights operate from the northern section, with a Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) annex dedicated to Peach Aviation.
The terminal offers comprehensive passenger amenities including the JAL Sakura Lounge near Gate 20 and the ANA Lounge after security checkpoint B. Multiple security checkpoints (A, B, C) distribute passenger flow, though checkpoints B and C experience heavy congestion between 10:30-12:00. The facility serves as a hub for Japan Transocean Air and Ryukyu Air Commuter, while also functioning as Peach Aviation's second hub and ANA's overnight cargo hub.
The airport's strategic location makes it the primary gateway to Okinawa Prefecture, efficiently connecting the subtropical islands with mainland Japan and international destinations across Asia. The terminal's modern design accommodates both full-service and low-cost carriers, with dedicated check-in areas, automated kiosks, and streamlined passenger processing systems that handle the significant tourist traffic to Okinawa's resort destinations.
