Nagasaki Airport (NGS) is one of Japan’s most distinctive airports, built entirely on reclaimed land in the middle of Omura Bay and connected to the Nagasaki mainland by a bridge. The airport primarily serves domestic routes to Tokyo Haneda, Osaka, Nagoya, and Okinawa, with limited international flights to select Asian cities. Despite its compact size, Nagasaki Airport provides smoking rooms across the domestic terminal and international section — around three locations in total — ensuring smokers have options both before and after security.

Smoking Rooms at Nagasaki Airport

Nagasaki Airport maintains enclosed smoking rooms (喫煙所) equipped with ventilation and air filtration systems. Rooms are found in both the domestic and international areas. The airport’s single-terminal layout means everything is within easy walking distance, so reaching a smoking room from any gate takes just a few minutes.

2nd Floor — Domestic Terminal

The 2nd floor is the main departure level for domestic flights, housing check-in counters, security screening, and boarding gates. There are two smoking rooms on this floor in the domestic section. At least one is accessible from the departure gate area, meaning you can smoke after security without needing to exit and re-clear screening. If you are departing on one of the frequent Tokyo Haneda or Osaka flights, these are the most convenient rooms to use.

2nd Floor — International Section

The international section of the terminal also has one smoking room on the 2nd floor. International flights at Nagasaki are less frequent than domestic services, but the room is available for passengers clearing immigration for outbound flights or arriving on international routes.

Heated Tobacco and E-Cigarettes

All smoking rooms at Nagasaki Airport welcome heated tobacco products such as IQOS, Ploom, and glo. These devices are widely used across Japan and are treated the same as traditional cigarettes in airport smoking rooms. Liquid e-cigarettes and vapes are also permitted in the designated rooms.
