coral port LOUNGE Cafe and Bar | Post-Security Cafe-Bar at Shimojishima Airport (Miyako)

This is the only cafe-bar in the post-security boarding waiting area of the lounge building at the Miyako Shimojishima Airport terminal. Opened in October 2022, it serves a wide range from Orion beer and craft beer to cocktails using Miyakojima awamori, and soft drinks such as coffee. The interior is dressed with teriha-boku, a fine Okinawan timber, and you can spend the moment before departure in an open, tropical space. To round off a remote-island trip, toasting with Miyakojima local sake or beer, or taking a breather with coffee while waiting for a flight, its appeal is a special location only passengers can enjoy. As business follows flight operating times, it operates only in time slots with flights. Note that alcohol is not sold to those under 20.

Visiting tips & what to bring

Only passengers who have passed security can use it; those seeing off or meeting arrivals, or with no flight planned, cannot enter. As hours are linked to the flight operating timetable, it may be closed for early-morning and late-night flights or in non-operating time slots. Being an indoor facility, there is no worry about weather or insects, and it is air-conditioned. Toilets are also provided in the terminal, suited to a final break before boarding. When alcohol is served, use it with time to spare before your boarding time.

For families with small children

Being in a post-security indoor lounge with air conditioning and toilets and no weather worry, it is an environment comfortable even for those waiting for a flight with small children. However, it is a bar serving alcohol, and a dedicated kids space or full meal menu is limited. For children, soft drinks other than coffee are available. As it is passengers-only, use is limited to families taking a flight.
