Kagoshima Airport (KOJ) sits at the southern tip of Kyushu, surrounded by volcanic landscapes and serving as the main gateway to Yakushima Island, the active Sakurajima volcano, and the hot spring resorts of southern Japan. The terminal even offers views of Sakurajima on clear days. With domestic flights connecting to Tokyo Haneda, Osaka, Nagoya, and Okinawa, plus limited international service, Kagoshima is a busy regional hub. The airport is well equipped for smokers, with around five smoking areas across the domestic terminal and one in the international terminal.
Smoking Rooms at Kagoshima Airport
Kagoshima Airport provides enclosed smoking rooms (喫煙所) on multiple floors of both the domestic and international sections. All rooms feature air filtration systems in compliance with Japan’s Health Promotion Act. Rooms are available on the landside (before security) and airside (after security), with the airside room in the domestic boarding gate area located beside the JAL SAKURA LOUNGE.
Domestic Terminal
The domestic terminal is the larger section of the airport, handling the bulk of traffic. Smoking rooms are distributed across all three floors:
1st Floor — A smoking area near the ground-level entrance and arrival lobby, convenient if you have just landed or are waiting for someone.
2nd Floor — Two smoking rooms on the departure level, near the check-in counters and boarding gate area. At least one is airside, accessible after security beside the JAL SAKURA LOUNGE, so you can smoke in the gate area without needing to exit and re-clear screening.
3rd Floor — One smoking room on the upper level, near the observation deck and restaurant area. This is a good spot if you are killing time before your flight with a meal or watching planes against the backdrop of Sakurajima.
International Terminal
The international section has one smoking room on the 2nd-floor departure lobby. International services at Kagoshima are limited, so the terminal is smaller, but the room ensures international passengers have access around the departure area.
JAL SAKURA Lounge Area
The airside smoking room on the 2nd floor of the domestic terminal is located right beside the JAL SAKURA LOUNGE in the boarding gate area, making it easy to reach whether or not you are using the lounge.
Heated Tobacco and E-Cigarettes
Heated tobacco devices such as IQOS, Ploom, and glo are welcome in all smoking rooms at Kagoshima Airport. Japan has widespread adoption of these products, and airports treat them the same as conventional cigarettes. Liquid e-cigarettes and vapes may also be used inside the designated rooms.
