Miyazaki Airport to central Miyazaki: how to get out of the airport

Getting from Miyazaki Airport into central Miyazaki

What the airport itself publishes for each way in.

JR Miyazaki Airport Line

The station is in the terminal building. 9 to 21 minutes depending on the train; some trains run through to Miyakonojo and Nobeoka. The fare includes the 130 yen Miyazaki Airport Line supplement.

Airport bus (Miyazaki Kotsu)

25 to 30 minutes. 340 yen to Miyakou City (10 to 16 minutes).

Route bus for Obi and Nichinan (Miyazaki Kotsu)

A regular route bus from stand 2, not the airport bus.

Getting online

This is a smaller airport, so arrange an eSIM before you fly rather than counting on a counter in the arrivals hall.

eSIM

Bought before you leave home and installed over Wi-Fi, so you land connected. Needs a phone that takes an eSIM and is not carrier-locked.

Prepaid SIM

Sold at the arrivals counters and vending machines at the larger airports. You swap your physical SIM — keep the old one safe.

Pocket Wi-Fi

A rented router for several devices at once. Picked up and dropped back at the airport counter, or posted back.

Free Wi-Fi

Available in the terminal. It stops when you leave the building.

Inside Miyazaki Airport

Opening hours, lounges, cash, SIM rental and free Wi-Fi at Miyazaki Airport, as the airport lists them on its own pages.

Opening hours

Opens at 06:30.

Lounge

Bougain Lounge Hinata, 1F, west area of the lobby (07:00–20:00) — 1,100 yen for 2 hours at the door, or free with some gold credit cards.

Lounge

Lounge Oyodo (shared airline lounge), 2F, inside the boarding waiting room, after security (from 06:50 until the last flight departs) — Airline lounge: the airline decides who can enter.

Currency exchange

SIM and pocket Wi-Fi

GLOBAL WiFi routers, at the Hands-free Tourism Service counter, 1F (08:00–18:30).

Free Wi-Fi

Network Miyazaki_Airport_Free_Spot; it uses the 5 GHz band only, so a device without 5 GHz cannot connect.

Leaving or sending a bag

Hands-free Tourism Service: bags sent on to hotels (1,000 yen) and same-day storage, 1F (08:00–18:30).

What happens between the plane and the exit

The same order at every international airport in Japan.

1. Quarantine — a health check as you come off the aircraft.
2. Immigration — fingerprints and a facial photograph, for everyone aged 16 and over, then the landing permission seal in your passport.
3. Baggage claim.
4. Animal and plant quarantine — before customs. Meat, fruit, vegetables, seeds and plants go to this counter first.
5. Customs — green channel with nothing to declare, red channel otherwise.

Register on Visit Japan Web before you fly and you get one 2D code that covers both immigration and customs. You need a phone or tablet to show it.
