Airport Facilities
The passenger terminal, which is
shaped like a giant ‘T’, is an impressive
sight, particularly the main check-in
hall, with its arrangement of counters
in long islands. The Welcome Garden
on the ground floor is a drop-off and
pick-up area for tour buses and taxis.
The arrivals lounge is on the next level,
with separate areas for domestic and
international travellers, where car-
rental desks, a tourist information
centre, money exchange facilities and
other service providers are situated.
The main departure hall is on the
third floor and is the most spectacular
part of the building, with lots of
natural daylight and a specially con-
structed roof. There are eight check-in
areas, five for international and three
for domestic flights while passen-
gers are directed through two secu-
rity checkpoints to their boarding
zones. Both the departure and arrivals
area are linked to the Access Plaza by
pedestrian walkways.

The Access Plaza is an atrium from

where trains, buses and taxis depart

and there is also a walkway to a nearby

ferry pier with a high-speed boat

service to the city of Tsu, on the other

side of Ise Bay. The Centrair Hotel is

opposite the terminal and the Toyoko

Inn and Comfort Hotel, are both a

short walk away.

The terminal looks impeccable and is

extremely well cared for. Most

aircraft use jet-bridges and only the

occasional flights use remote parking

stands, these being mostly domestic

services with passengers being taken

by bus to the aircraft’s steps. As is the

case at most Japanese airports, the

domestic departure lounge has little to

offer in terms of cafés, restaurants or

shops. Most passengers tend to arrive

around half an hour before their flight

and, with the usual super-efficiency of

Japanese airports, they can usually

check in, walk through security in

under a minute and be at the gate for

boarding 15 minutes before departure

• which will be on time.
  The international departure lounge
  has more to offer passengers, with
  more shops and cafés. On the top floor

of the terminal, which can be reached

from the main departure hall via an

escalator, there is a large shopping area

designed to look like an old Japanese

village. Shops set up in little houses

sell a broad range of goods from

exquisite stationery to Pokémon char-

acters, umbrellas and clothes. There

The observation deck,

branded the Sky Deck

is said to be one of

the world’s finest for

visitors and aircraft

enthusiasts.
