๐ข Terminal Information
Naha Airport is organized around a main domestic terminal and an adjacent international terminal connected by an indoor corridor; a separate LCC Terminal (T2) for some low-cost carriers sits to the south and is linked by a dedicated shuttle bus. The domestic building houses ticketing on the second floor, departures on the third, and arrivals/baggage on the first, while the international hall mirrors that layout on a smaller scale.
Walking between domestic check-in counters and the farthest domestic gates typically takes 8โ10 minutes thanks to wide concourses with moving walkways near the center spine. The enclosed corridor to the international terminal adds about 5โ7 minutes, and the shuttle to the LCC terminal takes roughly 10 minutes including waiting time, with barrier-free boarding ramps for passengers needing assistance.
Security screening for domestic flights is centralized at the upper departure level with separate lanes for families and premium travelers; international departures have their own checkpoint just before immigration. Morning waves to Tokyo and Osaka can push waits to 20โ30 minutes, while midday flights usually clear in under 15 minutes.
International arrivals process through immigration and customs on the ground floor of the international terminal, with agricultural inspections for flights from outside Okinawa placed just after baggage claim. Domestic arrivals exit directly to the landside arrivals lobby, and baggage re-check counters for connections sit beside the corridor linking the two terminals.
Amenities include ANA Lounge and JAL Sakura Lounge in the domestic concourse, plus the โLOUNGE Hanaโ for cardholders in the international side. Dining features Okinawan soba, Blue Seal ice cream, and duty-free shops offering local crafts. Nursing rooms are available on every floor, kidsโ corners sit near Gates 10 and 14, tactile paving guides passengers with visual impairments, and elevators/escalators provide step-free access throughout.

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.
