# Smoking at Komatsu Airport – KMQ

Yes, Komatsu Airport (KMQ) has four designated smoking areas — including two after security: an enclosed room beside the ANA Lounge in the domestic departure waiting hall and a room in the international departure waiting hall. Landside, there is a smoking room in the 2nd-floor international departure lobby and an outdoor area near the bus stop.

Komatsu Airport is the main gateway to Ishikawa Prefecture and the Hokuriku region, serving Kanazawa and shared with the JASDF Komatsu Air Base. The passenger terminal is compact, so the four smoking spots are easy to find once you know which side of security you are on. All rooms are enclosed and marked with the standard Japanese 喫煙所 signage.

### Domestic Departure Waiting Hall (Airside)

The domestic side handles the airport’s busiest routes, including ANA and JAL flights to Tokyo Haneda and other hubs.

- **Beside the ANA Lounge**: an enclosed smoking room sits next to the ANA Lounge inside the domestic departure waiting hall — past security, near the gates, so you can smoke right before boarding.

### International Departure Area

Komatsu handles international and charter flights, primarily to East Asian destinations, with smoking covered on both sides of security.

- **Departure waiting hall (airside)**: a smoking room inside the international departure waiting hall, after passport control and security.
- **2nd-floor departure lobby (landside)**: a smoking room in the international departure lobby on Level 2, before you clear security.

### Outdoor / Landside

If you are landside with time before check-in, or have just arrived, head outside.

- **Near the bus stop**: a designated outdoor smoking area sits near the bus boarding area in front of the terminal.
