Yes, New Kitakyushu Airport (KKJ) has designated smoking rooms — indoor smoking rooms inside the 2nd-floor boarding lounge (one on the domestic side, one on the international side) for after security, plus a smoking room on the 3rd floor and an outdoor smoking area on the 1st floor before security. As one of Japan’s six 24-hour airports, the terminal and its smoking facilities stay open around the clock.

はい、北九州空港(KKJ)には専用喫煙室があります。保安検査後は2階の搭乗待合室内の喫煙室(国内線側1か所、国際線側1か所)、保安検査前は3階の喫煙室と1階の屋外喫煙所が利用できます。北九州空港は日本に6つしかない24時間運用空港の一つで、ターミナルと喫煙設備は終日利用できます。

Kitakyushu Airport sits on an artificial island in the Seto Inland Sea, about 3 km off the Kitakyushu coast in Fukuoka Prefecture. It is a compact, three-storey single terminal: the 1st floor handles arrivals, the 2nd floor handles check-in, security and departures, and the 3rd floor holds shops, dining and a lounge. Smoking is confined to enclosed smoking rooms (喫煙室) and the marked outdoor area, with no smoking elsewhere in the building.

北九州空港は瀬戸内海の人工島に位置し、福岡県の北九州海岸から約3km沖にあります。3階建てのコンパクトな単一ターミナルで、1階は到着、2階はチェックイン・保安検査・出発、3階は店舗・飲食・ラウンジになっています。喫煙は密閉型の喫煙室(喫煙室)と指定された屋外エリアに限られ、建物内のその他の場所では喫煙できません。

After Security – 2F Boarding Lounge

Once you clear security on the 2nd floor, you will find smoking rooms inside the boarding lounge — one on the domestic side and one on the international side. These are the most convenient options for travelers who want to smoke without leaving the secure zone before boarding.

保安検査後 – 2階搭乗待合室

2階で保安検査を通過すると、搭乗待合室内に喫煙室があります(国内線側に1か所、国際線側に1か所)。搭乗前に保安エリアを出ることなく喫煙したい旅行者には最も便利な選択肢です。

Before Security – 3F Room and 1F Outdoor Area

If you prefer to smoke before check-in or security, there is an enclosed smoking room on the 3rd floor at the far end of the exhibition corridor, and an outdoor smoking area beside the 1st-floor terminal entrance. Both are landside, so you can use them while seeing off travelers or waiting on a long layover.

保安検査前 – 3階の喫煙室と1階の屋外喫煙所

チェックインや保安検査の前に喫煙したい場合は、3階の展示通路の奥に密閉型の喫煙室があり、1階のターミナル入口横に屋外喫煙所があります。いずれも制限区域外にあるため、見送りの際や長い待ち時間にも利用できます。

Open 24 Hours

Because Kitakyushu Airport runs 24 hours a day, the terminal and its smoking rooms remain accessible to overnight and early-morning travelers — useful for the late and red-eye flights this airport is known for.

24時間営業

北九州空港は24時間運用されているため、ターミナルと喫煙室は深夜・早朝の旅行者も利用できます。この空港の特徴である深夜便や早朝便にも便利です。
