[2025 Naha Airport] Travel Guide for Naha Airport (Updated Jul)

Due to a late-night flight and a delay, I ended up spending more time at Naha Airport than expected. To my surprise, this four-story building turned out to be a great place to explore. The monorail station connects directly to the domestic terminal, and as you walk deeper into the airport, you'll reach the international terminal. Along the way, there are plenty of shops and convenience stores. BigCamera has an Air store here, offering small electronics, cameras, hair dryers, and more—perfect for last-minute purchases if you missed shopping in the city. Muji also has a "to Go" store, featuring travel essentials, clothing, shoes, and socks. If you run out of space, you can even buy a carry-on suitcase here. The drugstore ココカラファイン is as comprehensive as its street-side counterparts, making it easy to stock up on any forgotten items. Additionally, the famous Salt House, known for its salt and ice cream that attract countless tourists on Kokusai Street, has an airport branch here where you can buy snacks and various salts as souvenirs. On the fourth floor, the food court is divided into north and south sections. The northern area offers Okinawan rice balls, Yoshinoya, and Hokkaido curry soup, which always has long lines. The southern area features set meal restaurants and tonkatsu (fried pork cutlets). If you want to avoid the crowds, head to the southern section for a meal and some rest. On the third floor, there's a liquor art gallery where you can sit down, chat with a bartender, and enjoy a relaxing moment. Outside, there's a row of capsule toy machines where you can turn your leftover travel coins into fun souvenirs. Lastly, let's talk about the vending machines. In Okinawa, you'll often see vending machines promoting "local production for local consumption" beverages. These drinks are made with local ingredients and produced locally, allowing you to savor the taste of Okinawa one last time before leaving. 📍Address: 150 Kagamizu, Naha, Okinawa 901-0142, Japan 🚗 Monorail Airport Station: 3-minute walk to the domestic terminal, 5-minute walk to the international terminal.

Every time I visit Okinawa, I make sure to stop by this izakaya. This time, one meal wasn't enough, so I planned for two. Upon landing, I headed straight to Ikesu no Ginji (Shintoshin branch), a place I visited last time. Unfortunately, my favorite sea urchin rice ball was replaced with a new version—sad. For the second meal, I decided to check out Mekiki no Ginji (Shintoshin branch), which has a Studio Ghibli vibe (P1). However, when I arrived at 5:40 PM, the daily specials of fresh shrimp sashimi and grilled prawns were already sold out! Key Highlights: 1️⃣ Always try the daily specials. Although the fresh shrimp was sold out, the daily oysters (P3) at JPY 400 each were incredibly fresh and sweet—a must-try. 2️⃣ My personal favorite and obsession is the sea urchin rice ball with raw egg dipping sauce (P2)—you'll miss it once you've tried it. 3️⃣ A general recommendation is the sea urchin sauce grilled oysters on a hot plate (P4). 4️⃣ Reservations are absolutely necessary. I usually ask the hotel I'm staying at to make the reservation, specifying the date, time, number of people, and even the end time. 5️⃣ For the best photo opportunity at the Studio Ghibli-style entrance, aim for around 6:30 PM. The lighting is perfect—just as the sky starts to darken but hasn't fully turned night, and the lights are beautifully lit.

🕰️Opening hours: 10:00-22:00 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: The American Village is a series of buildings like outlets. Each one has different shops. There are many special shops to visit. Each building has its own characteristics. It is very interesting. Even if you don’t want to buy anything, you can still have a good time. 📍Address: Mihama, Chatan, Nakagami District, Okinawa 904-0115 〒904-0115 Mihama, Chatan-cho, Nakagami-gun, Okinawa Prefecture 💰Per capita consumption: If you go on holidays, it is recommended to eat at nearby restaurants first. The restaurants inside will be more expensive, but there are many restaurant options. You can also try it. The cafe facing the sea is recommended. 💞Recommendation reason: The architecture inside is very unique. I will definitely come here next time I come to Okinawa. If you drive, please be careful about parking or traffic jams. There are more people. It is less likely to go north. It is recommended to go to the American Village and go north. If you are taking public transportation, you can take a bus at Naha Bus Terminal. If you don't have a Suica card, you can also pay with coins when you get off the bus. Remember to check when you get on the bus. There is a machine that draws tickets. Remember to keep it safe when you get off the bus. 🗓️Itinerary: There are other malls near the American Village. If you don’t like shopping, you can go shopping for a while. You can also stop by the Minatogawa Foreigner Residence #AmericanVillage #OkinawaAmericanVillage #Okinawa #OkinawaTour #NewYearDestinations2025 #Japan #JapaneseAttractions

Okinawa soul food "Pork and egg onigiri" A simple onigiri with spam and egg. In Okinawa, you can find it at any convenience store or bento shop. Popular specialty store [Po Tama] sells this soul food with various ingredients. There are five stores on the main island of Okinawa. It is a popular store with tourists, so there are often lines at all stores all day. It is also located in the domestic arrivals lobby of Naha Airport, so there may be some people who have waited in the line at least once, or some people who have given up on the line. So, here is a hidden gem that I would like to recommend. [Naha Airport International Food Court Store] Po Tama's popularity has not yet spread to foreigners, so there are few lines and it is recommended. The international food court is on the 4th floor of the international terminal. At the end of my trip to Okinawa, I bought a Po Tama at the international food court after checking my luggage and ate it on the plane. If you come to Okinawa, you should definitely try this onigiri at least once. [Po-Tama International Food Court Store] Address: 150 Kagamizu, Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture, Naha Airport International Passenger Terminal Building, 4F Food Court Opening hours: 7:00-21:00 Parking: Available #Domestic Travel Strategy #Domestic Travel #Okinawa #Okinawa Travel #Okinawa Tourism #Okinawa Gourmet #Po-Tama #Pork and Egg Onigiri

#springplace2024 #Japan #Okinawa #Naha Airport #Observation Deck Okinawa Airport does not have a large open-air observation deck like other airports in Japan, but there is a location with large floor-to-ceiling windows near the food and elf shooting area on the 3rd floor that can clearly see the apron and runway area outside. It is a good place to watch flights taking off and landing.

#springplace2024 #Japan #Okinawa #Naha Airport #Pokemon #Pikachu Okinawa Naha Airport is relatively close to Hong Kong, taking just over two hours by plane. When you arrive at the airport, you can see Pokemon decorations everywhere and take photos. The best place to take photos is between the international and domestic check-in counters on the 3rd floor, near the observation deck. There is a large Pokemon advertising board and Pokemon stickers on the pillars.

Pokemon are gathering in the Fukugi Hall on the 3rd floor of Naha Airport! It's a space that will delight fans and families with children alike. We passed by it on the way to the observation deck, so why not take some time to wander around the airport? [Location] Fukugi Hall on the 3rd floor of Naha Airport (near the international check-in counter) [Address] 150 Kagamizu, Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture [Access] Monorail (Yui Rail), bus, taxi, car #Okinawa tourism #Naha Airport #Visitor deck #Okinawa #Okinawa trip #Pokemon

The last time I came to Okinawa was in March 2020. After three years, I can finally go to Okinawa again in 2023 to see how different it is from three years ago. Naha Airport is divided into domestic and international routes. The third floor is the airline check-in counter, and the security check is on the second floor. Since the security check is strict and there are only three counters, you must remember to arrive at the airport security check early. Naha Airport has been renovated and there are many restaurants and souvenir shops on the 2nd floor before departure. However, there are fewer choices after security check, so if you want to buy souvenirs or gifts, you should pay attention to purchase them before security check.

Boarding month: May 2022 Airline: Japan Airlines Route: ITM → OKA Aircraft: A350-900 / JA03XJ Seat: First class I wanted to eat JAL's domestic in-flight meal 😋 The flight time was relatively long and the price was reasonable, and I chose JL2087 Itami-Naha route because it was my favorite Okinawa ✈️ The main dish for the day was beef cheek with miso flavor 🐃 The meat was softer than I expected, and the feeling of it spreading in my mouth and the moderate miso flavor were delicious ✨ The vegetables that are a feast for the eyes are also good 😊 The small bowls of oyster mushrooms, eel, cucumber and jellyfish were also satisfying to eat, and I was able to enjoy the texture, and the seasonal recommended drink "peach juice" was also delicious with its elegant taste 🍑 After the meal, I also tried the Kai series and dried natto for the first time! I was able to fully enjoy the meal on board, which was my goal 🙋‍♂️ On the other hand, my seat was on the aisle 💧 In most cases, I choose a window seat, but it was already booked at the reservation stage, so I chose the second row seat in the middle row 💺 But with the A350, there are individual monitors, so it's okay! I enjoyed the flight in a different way than usual while watching the outside image. I would also like to experience JAL's international premium class 😊 #domestictravel #plane #jal #japanairlines #a350 #inflightmeal #inflightmeal #firstclass #firstclass #jalfirstclass

The Airport Dining Hall is located on the first floor of the domestic terminal of Okinawa Naha Airport (arrival gate), at the end of the left turn at the airport entrance. The restaurant's prices are affordable, with all set meals priced at 750 yen, and they also offer takeaway boxes for 450 yen for passengers to take on board. If you dine in, diners can drink barley tea freely at no extra charge. I highly recommend everyone to give it a try. My favorite is the pork chop set meal! Price: 750 yen #Airport Dining Hall #Okinawa

#tripmemory2022　#OkinawaTrip　#Okinawa I went on a trip to Okinawa on December 25-26, 2022. Naha Airport is the gateway to Okinawa, and an airport with a tropical atmosphere. There are many souvenir shops, and I bought most of my Okinawa souvenirs at the airport. The prices are reasonable and the staff are all nice. Of course, the airline staff were also kind, so I enjoyed my trip. There is a simple aquarium on the first floor where you can see tropical fish.

I flew from Naha to Haneda on JAL in first class✈️ It was a flight of just under 3 hours but I was able to use the Diamond Premier Lounge and had an in-flight meal🥰 This week the main dishes were kushikatsu and hamburger steaks and they were delicious🍽 The service and hospitality were even better than the food, so I was a little overwhelmed but I enjoyed the best flight✈️ The dessert was especially good‼︎ The marshmallow sandwich was too good💕 If you book early it's around 30,000 yen so if you love flying, you should definitely try it once🫶 #NahaAirport #jalDiamondPremierLounge #jalFirstClass #BoardingReport

The airport is easily accessible, about 10 minutes by car from downtown Naha. Just looking around Naha Airport is fun and you can spend a lot of time there. There are many souvenir shops and restaurants, so you won't get bored. There is also an observation deck, so it's a good idea to come early and relax at the airport. ☆ #OkinawaTourism #Souvenirs #Gourmet #NahaAirport

Our final departure from Naha Airport on our Okinawa trip✨ In the departure lobby, there was an ice cream vending machine with flavors that were only available in Okinawa✨✨ We got to enjoy the last taste of Okinawa before leaving😊I was wondering which one to choose, but I chose dragon fruit flavor✨It was very delicious😊👍 #OkinawaTrip

Introducing a hotel in Naha ✨ I went to Okinawa again last month ✈️ I usually stay at a friend's house, but this time I stayed at Hotel Aqua Citta Naha in Naha for one night ☺️ It's about a 10-minute taxi ride from Naha Airport 🚕 It costs about 1,200 yen! The receptionist was a foreigner, and was very friendly and polite ❣️ I stayed in a standard double room with a friend, but if you don't mind sharing a bed, I think it's enough ✨ There is a large window-paneled pool on the rooftop that you can use freely 🏊🏽‍♀️It was very pleasant 🫶🏼 I didn't order rice or other items, but breakfast was provided on the floor below! Water and detox water were all-you-can-drink ☝️ Everything was very clean, and the price was reasonable at about 10,000 yen for two people! Highly recommended♡ If you are interested, please go and check it out🥰 #hotel #okinawahotel #hotelaquacittanaha #recommendedhotelintroduction #okinawatrip #girlwholovestraveling #hotel #okinawa #okinawatrip

Okinawa, Naha Airport ✨ After picking up my checked baggage, I was feeling a bit hungry 😊 As I was heading towards the information desk in the airport, I saw a blue flag at the very back ✨ "Kuuko Shokudo" ✨✨ Of course it was delicious ✨✨✨ A toast with soki soba, Okinawa soba, and Orion beer ✨✨ Okinawa soba was ¥600 and soki soba was ¥700, so it was very tasty and reasonably priced 😊💕 #OkinawaTrip

Okinawa trip!! 2022! First day of Okinawa trip! From Osaka Kansai Airport to Okinawa Naha Airport. This time, I was taken care of by Peach Airlines again! I came here for the first time in a year! Naha Airport!! The miniature aquarium is soothing! This time was also a fun memory! I have uploaded a video of my Okinawa trip to YouTube! Please take a look!! #family #familytrip #familyfriendly #familymemories #Okinawa #OkinawatripOkinawaPrefecture #KansaiInternationalAirport #NahaAirport #emeraldgreen #seasideview #yassantv1977 #youtuber #tourism #tourismsupport #touristtouristplace #touristdestination #withkids #Iwanttoconnectwithhotellovers #photographyguideattouristtouristtouristtouristtouristtrip #travelinspiration #instagrammable×beautifulwomen #immediatelyusablephotographytechniques #distinctiveaccommodation #usefultravelinformation #greatviews

I took a flight from Fukuoka to Okinawa with Peach. When I arrived at Naha Airport, I saw a sign that said "Menso-re" and felt like I was in Okinawa. Hearing local dialects is one of the charms of traveling☺️ A large shisa will also greet you in the airport lobby, so you can get in the mood before heading out sightseeing😉 Even if you don't head into town, you can still enjoy Okinawan cuisine and chain restaurants that are only available in Okinawa in Japan, so you can still have fun. On your way back or if the weather is bad and it's difficult to go sightseeing in the city, it might be a good idea to head to the airport a little early and enjoy shopping and eating at Naha Airport! #NahaAirport #Naha #Okinawa #OkinawaTrip #Trip #Tourism #Airport #okinawa #okinawatrip #shisa

Directly connected to Naha Airport. When you head towards Naha Airport Yui Rail Station, the first thing you see is a monument marking Japan's westernmost station. The Yui Rail is a convenient way to travel smoothly from the airport to the city of Naha. Unlike the subway, the monorail runs on high floors, so one of the attractions for travelers is being able to travel while feeling the atmosphere of the city. The comfort of being able to instantly access major spots in the city center without having to worry about traffic jams is a big attraction. #YuiRail #Okinawa #Naha #OkinawaTrip #Travel #Tourism #Trip #okinawa #okinawatrip

The beach in front of Hotel Moon Beach It was a beautiful beach with a wide expanse of sand. The emerald green ocean really felt like Okinawa, and there was a chapel at the back. The beach was also lined with jellyfish nets, and there were lifeguards, so we were able to play in the ocean without worry!! #photogenicspot #beach #luxuryhotel

I've been wanting to go to Kuuko Shokudo for a while because the reviews are so good. It's pushed to the edge of the airport and has a pretty low profile. But it's cheap, fast, and the food is great. You buy a ticket and go and collect it yourself, so it's efficient and you can stop by even if you're in a rush to catch a connecting flight. The Goya Chanpuru set meal was rich and delicious. I'd like to go there again when I have a connecting flight in Naha. #Okinawa #Okinawan cuisine #Airport #Naha Airport #Recommended list #Gourmet trip

Naha Airport is located in Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture. It is the gateway to Okinawa. There are no trains, so you have to travel by air. When I arrived, I found the airport to have a tropical feel! I had lunch at Royal Host, a national chain, and to my surprise, they had a pork cutlet set meal made with Agu pork!!

If you come to Naha Airport, you'll definitely stop by the Airport Restaurant. Since you've come all the way there, ✅Okinawa Soba 600 yen ✅Soki Soba 700 yen ✅Goya Chanpuru 650 yen ✅Tofu Chanpuru 650 yen You'll want to eat Okinawa's classics😌 ✅Curry rice ✅Katsu curry These also look delicious, but I'll try curry rice if I go there about 5 more times😌 #Okinawa#Okinawa trip#Girls trip#Airport restaurant#Naha airport#Naha airport gourmet#Gourmet#Okinawa soba#Soba#Soba#Curry rice#Goya Chanpuru#Okinawa gourmet#Okinawa airport restaurant#Naha airport airport restaurant#Food terrorism

We arrived at Naha Airport bright and early, around 7am, and found most of the shops still closed. Thankfully, Doutor Coffee was already open and ready to welcome sleepy travelers like us looking for a simple breakfast before our flight. Though it’s nothing fancy, Doutor delivered exactly what we needed—fresh sandwiches, decent cakes, and reliable coffee. I went for a ham and egg sandwich paired with a hot latte. Everything was fresh, warm, and satisfying. The seating area wasn’t huge, but we managed to grab a comfortable spot to sit and relax while watching the airport slowly come to life. Not a destination cafe by any means, but if you need a fuss-free breakfast spot early in the morning, Doutor hits the mark. #summervacay #DoutorCoffee #NahaAirportEats #JapanTravelCafe #QuickBreakfast #OkinawaEats #AirportCoffeeFix #SimpleAndSatisfying #TravelFuel #CoffeeBeforeFlight #okinawa #okinawatrip #japan #japantrip

#JuneTravelSupport Naha Airport is so small that there wasn't really anything to eat ㅠ There was only one food court, so I tried ramen and the taste was... so-so?? It was okay for a quick cold! Recommended for those who haven't eaten 👍🏻 📍Address: Okinawa Naha Airport
