Visiting tips & what to bring

Being post-security (inside the boarding waiting area), only passengers on a departing flight holding a ticket can use it. Those seeing off, arriving passengers, and those only touring the airport cannot enter. As hours depend on flight operating times, it may be closed in time slots with few flights. Being an indoor facility with air conditioning and toilets and good footing, easy-to-walk shoes are not essential. As it is for use in the moment before boarding, drop by with time to spare for security and boarding procedures.

For families with small children

In an indoor food-court format with air conditioning, bench seats and ample space, families with children aged 0 to 6 can dine relatively calmly. There are child-friendly menu items such as Miyako soba and curry. However, note that it is in the post-security area where only passengers can enter, and being a boarding waiting area it is not suited to a long stay. Toilets are nearby and convenient too.
