Table of contents
Naha Airport layout
Naha Airport sits in Kagamizu, Naha City, Okinawa, and serves around 20 million passengers per year (airport statistics). Three terminals: Domestic, International, and LCC.
Designated smoking rooms
Each terminal has multiple smoking rooms in the pre-security departure lobby, post-security restricted area, and arrivals. Heated tobacco devices (IQOS, glo, Ploom) are regulated the same as combustible cigarettes — most rooms accept both. Look for signage inside the terminal.
Outside the airport — Naha city
Main transport options: Yui Rail monorail (Naha-kuko Station), airport limousine bus, rental car. Yui Rail vehicles and stations are non-smoking. In Naha city, the national outdoor consideration duty (no fine) applies. No municipal "Street Smoking Prohibited Zone" by-law with on-the-spot fines has been confirmed in publicly available materials as of May 2026 for Okinawa Prefecture or Naha City. Use hotel and restaurant outdoor smoking spaces.
