๐ข Terminal Information
Amami Airport (ASJ) serves Amami ลshima, the largest island in the Amami archipelago within Japan's Kagoshima Prefecture. Situated on the northeastern tip of the island, this regional airport is a vital transportation hub, connecting the island's residents and tourists to major cities on mainland Japan, including Tokyo (Haneda), Osaka (Itami), and Kagoshima. The terminal building is a modern, single-story facility that has been designed for efficient passenger flow, reflecting the high standards of Japanese airport operations.\n\nSecurity and operational procedures at ASJ are efficient and adhere strictly to Japanese aviation regulations. Passengers can expect streamlined check-in processes, often available at self-service kiosks, followed by thorough but quick security screening. While Amami Airport handles solely domestic traffic, the procedures are comparable to those at many international regional airports. Boarding is typically facilitated via jet bridges, though some smaller aircraft may require a short walk across the tarmac, offering views of the lush island scenery.\n\nAmenities within the terminal cater well to travelers. There are several souvenir shops offering local products, including Oshima Tsumugi silk, brown sugar shochu, and other Amami specialties. Restaurants and cafes serve both Japanese and local Amami cuisine, ensuring a variety of dining options before or after flights. Car rental services are conveniently located within the terminal, and public buses provide transport to the city center of Naze and other parts of the island. Free Wi-Fi is also available throughout the terminal.
