About this guide and disclaimer
This is a third-party guide compiled from the official website of Chubu Centrair International Airport (https://www.centrair.jp/) — its smoking-room guide and floor map — reflecting the situation as of June 2026. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the airport operator. Smoking-room locations, counts and operation may change without notice. When you actually travel, always confirm the latest locations on the official smoking-room guide and the official floor map (https://www.centrair.jp/map/).
To prevent second-hand smoke, always smoke inside the designated smoking rooms and avoid stopping to smoke at entrances or in passageways. In line with Japan's revised Health Promotion Act and the airport's in-building rules, do not smoke outside designated areas.
Terminal 1 smoking rooms (before security)
According to the official site, the 3rd-floor departure lobby of Terminal 1 (the landside area before security) has smoking rooms near check-in counter B and near counter M. You can use them before check-in or when seeing someone off. Layout can change by floor and over time, so check the in-building signage and the official map on the day.
Post-security (restricted area) smoking rooms
There are also smoking rooms in the restricted area after security. The official guide states that, for international flights, there is one between gates 22 and 23 and one near gate 17A; for domestic flights, one between gates 3 and 4 and one between gates 6 and 7. If you want to smoke just before boarding, it is convenient to use a smoking room near the gates after clearing security. Check the official map for the latest locations.
Arrival area and 4th-floor Sky Town smoking rooms
The 2nd-floor arrival area also has smoking rooms — per the official guide, near the international transfer security for international arrivals, and near the baggage-claim entrance for domestic arrivals. The 4th-floor "Sky Town" commercial area also has several smoking rooms you can use while dining or shopping, and there are smoking rooms on the Access Plaza side as well. Locations may change, so check the official map for the latest.
Terminal 2 (LCC) smoking rooms
Centrair also has Terminal 2, used by LCCs. The presence and location of smoking rooms in Terminal 2 differ from Terminal 1 and operations vary, so if you use Terminal 2, always check the official Terminal 2 guide and the official map for smoking rooms.
Heated tobacco and e-cigarettes
At Centrair, as with cigarettes, heated tobacco (IQOS / glo / Ploom) and e-cigarettes (VAPE) should in principle be used only in designated smoking rooms. You cannot use them at boarding-area seats, in passageways, or inside Sky Town shops just because "there is little smoke". For second-hand smoke prevention too, always use heated/e-cigarettes inside designated smoking rooms.
Chubu Centrair Airport station (Meitetsu) and access notes
Centrair connects directly to "Chubu Centrair Airport" station on the Meitetsu line, linked to Meitetsu Nagoya station by limited express and the μ-SKY. Stations and trains are non-smoking, so if you want to smoke before or after your journey, use a designated smoking room inside the terminal. Checking the smoking situation in central Nagoya (Nagoya Station, Sakae, etc.) in advance also makes moving around the city smoother.
Find nearby smoking areas with MottoSuitai
After arriving, if you want to find smoking areas in central Nagoya (Nagoya Station, Sakae, etc.), you can list nearby smoking areas from MottoSuitai's map. For a list of smoking areas in the Nagoya area, see smoking areas in the Sakae area, and for other airports, see the Fukuoka Airport smoking guide and the transport guide for smokers in Japan.
