Fukuoka Airport Smoking Policy
Japan’s Health Promotion Act requires all indoor smoking to take place in designated enclosed smoking rooms (kitsuen-shitsu) with proper ventilation. Fukuoka provides approximately 7 to 10 smoking rooms across both terminals. IQOS and other heated tobacco products are permitted in these rooms.
Smoking is not allowed outside the terminal buildings, including the car park. All smoking must take place in the designated indoor rooms.
Tips for Smokers at Fukuoka Airport
- The domestic terminal has multiple airside rooms — check the nearest one to your gate
- The international terminal expanded in March 2025, so room locations on upper floors may have shifted
- Heated tobacco (IQOS, Ploom, glo) is allowed in all smoking rooms
- No outdoor smoking areas exist — all designated areas are enclosed indoor rooms
- A free shuttle bus connects the domestic and international terminals (about 15 minutes)
