Airport Transportation in Okinawa

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Naha Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Our airport transportation in Okinawa picks you up at Naha Airport (OKA) and takes you to hotels and apartments in Naha, around Kokusai-dōri and the port, north to Chatan and American Village, and on to the beach resorts of Yomitan and Onna on Okinawa's west coast.

Okinawa Airport Transfers

Okinawa airport transfers start in the arrivals lobby of the terminal where your flight lands, the International Terminal for flights from abroad or the Domestic Terminal for flights from mainland Japan and the outer islands, and your driver waits there with a name sign. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and you choose the vehicle for your party, from a sedan for two to a minivan or minibus for a family or group with beach gear.

Each Okinawa airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, apartment or vacation rental in Naha, to Chatan and American Village, or to the resort hotels along the west coast in Yomitan and Onna. For addresses in Naha, the fare for each vehicle shows in the booking form before you pay. Going on to Nago, the Motobu Peninsula or the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium? Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.

Okinawa Airport Shuttle

Our Okinawa airport shuttle is a private car or van from Naha Airport for your party only, not a shared bus that stops at several resorts on the way up the coast. It leaves as soon as you are through arrivals, with room for suitcases, strollers and diving or beach gear, and suits families, couples heading to a beach resort and groups traveling together.

Landing at Okinawa Airport

Naha Airport (OKA) is the main airport for Okinawa, Japan's southernmost prefecture, on the coast at the western edge of Naha, and it is open 24 hours. It has a Domestic Terminal, for flights from mainland Japan and the outer islands such as Ishigaki and Miyako, and an International Terminal, for flights from Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, mainland China, Thailand and Singapore; a connecting building opened in 2019 joins the two, so you can walk between them. The airport shares its runways with the Japan Air Self-Defense Force's Naha Air Base.

On an international flight you go through quarantine, then immigration, where foreign visitors have their fingerprints and photo taken, and then customs. Registering your details on Visit Japan Web before you fly can speed things up. Domestic flights arrive with no checks. After baggage claim you come out into the arrivals lobby, where pre-booked drivers meet passengers.

Japan is on Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) all year, with no daylight saving time, and uses the yen.

Entry requirements and local notes

Naha Airport is Okinawa Airport. Naha Airport (OKA) is the airport most travelers mean by "Okinawa airport". Flights to Ishigaki or Miyako land at those islands' own airports, which this page does not cover.

Visit Japan Web. Register your immigration and customs details on Visit Japan Web before you fly, and check the visa rules for your nationality.

Typhoon season. Typhoons can delay or cancel flights at Naha, mainly from summer to fall; check your flight status and tell us if your arrival changes.

Okinawa Airport Transportation FAQs

Where will my driver meet me at Naha Airport?

In the arrivals lobby of the terminal where your flight lands, the International Terminal or the Domestic Terminal, holding a sign with your name. On an international flight that is after immigration and customs.

Is Naha Airport the same as Okinawa Airport?

Yes. Naha Airport (OKA) is Okinawa's main airport and the one most travelers mean by "Okinawa airport". It handles flights from mainland Japan, the outer islands and other Asian countries.

How far is Naha Airport from central Naha?

Naha Airport is about 4 km (2.5 miles) west of Naha City Hall, at the edge of the city, so central Naha and Kokusai-dōri are a short drive away.

Which terminal will I arrive at in Naha?

International flights, from Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, mainland China, Thailand and Singapore, arrive at the International Terminal. Flights from mainland Japan and the outer islands arrive at the Domestic Terminal, and a connecting building joins the two.

Can you take me to my hotel on Kokusai-dōri?

Yes. We drive door to door to hotels and apartments in central Naha, around Kokusai-dōri and near the port. Give the hotel name and full address when you book.

Can you take me to Chatan and American Village?

Yes. We drive north from Naha Airport to hotels and vacation rentals in Chatan, around American Village and the Sunset Beach area.

Can you take me to the resorts in Onna or Yomitan?

Yes. We drive door to door to the beach resorts along Okinawa's west coast in Yomitan and Onna. Give your resort's name when you book.

Can you take me to the Churaumi Aquarium or the Motobu Peninsula?

The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium is on the Motobu Peninsula, in the north of Okinawa Island beyond Nago. Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.

Do you go to Ishigaki or Miyako?

No. Ishigaki and Miyako are separate islands, reached by flights from Naha's Domestic Terminal. This page books rides from Naha Airport on Okinawa Island only.

Do typhoons affect my transfer?

Typhoons can delay or cancel flights at Naha, mainly from summer to fall. We track the flight on your reservation; if it is canceled or moved to another day, tell customer service so the pickup can be changed.

Do you pick up late at night at Naha Airport?

Yes. Naha Airport is open 24 hours, and we track the flight on your reservation, so your driver waits for your actual landing, late flights included.

Is there a monorail or bus from Naha Airport?

Yes. The Yui Rail monorail runs from Naha Airport Station into central Naha, including the Kokusai-dōri area, and buses serve many parts of Okinawa Island, including the resort areas; many visitors also rent a car. A private transfer is easier with luggage or for resorts up the coast.

Can I book a ride back to Naha Airport?

Yes. Book a one-way departure or a round trip from your hotel, apartment or office. Give your flight number, departure time and terminal so the pickup is set for check-in and security.
