New Chitose Airport Smoking Area Guide

In short

New Chitose Airport has 11 smoking areas in the domestic terminal and 4 in the international terminal (counted from the smoking room symbols on the official floor guide). What stands out is that there are none in the Domestic 2F departures lobby (before security), or in the International 2F arrivals lobby and 3F departures lobby. To smoke before security, go to 1F, 3F or 4F in the domestic terminal, or 1F in the international terminal. After security there are 5 in the domestic 2F departure gate area and 3 in the international 3F departure gate area, so there is no need to rush a cigarette before security. There are also smoking rooms inside the Super Lounge (3F and 4F), the JAL Sakura Lounge and the Royal Lounge.

Who this is for

• People looking for a place to smoke after arrival or before departure
• People who want to know whether they can still smoke after going through security
• People who know whether they are in the domestic or the international terminal

Domestic Terminal

Before security

• 1F arrivals lobby: 2, near Arrivals Exit 1 (south end) and near Arrivals Exit 5 (north end). There are none around Arrivals Exits 2–4 in the middle, so head to either end after collecting your bags
• 2F departures lobby: None. To smoke after check-in, go down to 1F or up to 3F
• 3F restaurant area: 3 in total, 1 on each side of Gourmet World and 1 next to the Airport History Museum (beside the observation deck entrance)

There are 5 along the semicircular gate area, so whichever entrance you use, one is a few minutes' walk away. ANA LOUNGE (near Gate 7) is all non-smoking and no smoking room is listed, while the JAL Sakura Lounge (3F) has a smoking room.

International Terminal

Notes

• The official website has no text page listing smoking areas; they are counted from the symbols on the official floor guide (as of September 17, 2026) and the web floor map. Which gates they are near is read from the drawings, not from signs
• The official information does not say whether they are for cigarettes or heated tobacco
• Smoking areas before security follow the terminal opening hours (domestic 5:00–23:30, international 5:00–21:00)
