NGO Airport Overview
To help you plan your layover or overnight sleepover, here is a quick run-down about what to expect during your time at Nagoya Chūbu Centrair Airport.
What to Expect
Situated on a dedicated man-made island, Nagoya Airport (code: NGO) has a single, efficient terminal divided into domestic and international piers. Amenities are modern, including dozens of eateries and shops, pay-to-use showers in two locations, and free WiFi. Two landside convenience stores are open 24 hours for late-night snacks. For added comfort while you wait, economy class passengers can pay to enter several airport lounges. See Airport Lounges in the guide below for location and access information.
Sleeping in Nagoya Airport
Only the Access Plaza and the International Arrivals Lobby are open 24 hours, so overnight campers must head here. There are several slim, armrest-free benches for resting. Bring an eye mask, earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones, and a blanket for added comfort. For uninterrupted sleep, a landside capsule hotel offers hourly room rentals and a shower-only package. More traditional hotels are located within a few minutes walk of the terminal. See our Airport Hotels section below for more info, or read some traveller airport reviews for more tips.
