Yui Rail payment and transfer costs
You can buy regular QR tickets at station vending machines, and you can also ride with reciprocal transport IC cards such as OKICA, Suica, PASMO, and ICOCA. Contactless payment for supported cards uses a dedicated reader at the turnstile, and the same card or device is used when entering and exiting.
If you transfer from Yui Rail to a bus, the bus fare is separate. Just because Suica works on the monorail doesn't mean it works on all Okinawa buses. In particular, TK01 and TK02 below do not accept transport IC cards but use cash or support card contactless payments.
Regular tickets, exclusive monorail tickets, and bus passes have different scopes of application and are not explained in the same table.
Yui Rail official riding and payment information ↗Actual route bus from the airport to the west of Kokusai Street
TK01 Hare Express/TK02 Umikaji Liner
Arrival lobby → Bus stop No. 4 outside the first floor of the domestic terminal → ‘国際通り入口’ direction → International street entrance stop → West accommodation
TK01 is an early morning express, and TK02 is a regular route to the city. Airport → Kokusai Street entrance: 240 yen for adults. You must take the northbound bus to city centre, and do not confuse it with the southbound bus stop 6 toward Itoman and Senagajima.
The drop-off point at the entrance to Kokusai Street is in front of the Okinawa Bank main office, near the Kumoji intersection. This is not a stop that takes you directly to your accommodation on the Makishi side.
Airport departure → Kokusai Street entrance timetable
Based on revised table in August 2026: Weekdays 07:17~21:13, Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays 07:48~21:21. It is the first and last departure combining TK01 and TK02, and is different from the timetable to the airport.
Comparing the departure from the airport and arrival at the Kokusai Street entrance in the table, the ride takes approximately 11 to 15 minutes. Travelling to the stop, ticketing, waiting, and walking to the accommodation are separate steps, and may take longer due to congestion or event detours.
Board through the middle door. Take a numbered slip if paying cash, or tap the supported bank-card reader. Pay at the front door when getting off; transport IC cards are not accepted on TK01 and TK02. Transportation IC cards cannot be used; cash or supported credit cards can be used as contactless payments. For large luggage, check with the driver about space and aisle availability in the vehicle.
The trunk conditions of the resort limousine do not apply to this city bus.
On October 11, 2026, TK02 will make a round trip from the airport and will not stop at the entrance to Kokusai Street. For travel within the city on this day, compare Yui Rail and taxi. Official detour information on the day of the festival Official detour information on the day of the festival
There are other routes at the airport, such as 26, 99, and 120, but the transit and drop-off stops are different. Check the official bus navi for the route that suits your accommodation by date and direction. Okinawa Bus announced changes to the airport stop names and fares on October 19th, so you must check the notices on that date when using the four companies' routes.

From the official taxi stand to the front of the accommodation
International/Domestic 1st floor arrival lobby → Official taxi stand → Present accommodation address → Accommodation entrance
In city centre Naha, use mid- to short-distance taxi stands. It is separated from the long-distance boarding area north of Chatan. Check the location using the airport taxi map and on-site staff, and prepare the Japanese address rather than just showing the name of the accommodation, so it is difficult to confuse hotels with the same name.
The regular car fare according to the operator's revised notice dated August 24, 2026 is 650 yen for the first 1.65km and 100 yen for every 350m thereafter. Approved fares and low-speed driving additions are applied depending on the vehicle and business operator, and a 20% late-night and early-morning surcharge is applied from 22:00 to 05:00.
If you use a toll road, check separate costs such as tolls. Fares vary depending on where you go on Kokusai Street and traffic conditions.
Times vary depending on road conditions. ANA airport information provides a reference value of approximately 20 minutes by car to Kokusai Street, but it may take longer depending on waiting lines, congestion, detours, and the location of your accommodation. Please ask about payment method and suitcase availability before boarding.
Last trains from Naha Airport and late-night arrivals
In the schedule for holidays on October 4 (Sunday) and weekdays on October 5 (Monday), the Yui Rail departure from the airport is from 06:00 to 23:30. On Fridays, an additional train departing from the airport at 00:00 and ending in Makishi is shown separately, but does not go to Omoromachi.
Temporary trains should not be used as the last departure running every day. For temporary festival dates from October 10th to 12th, please select the boarding date from the official calendar.
Just because the landing time is before 23:00 does not mean you can take the 23:30 train. After completing immigration, baggage, and customs, you must go to the station to issue a ticket, obtain a ticket, and enter the platform. TK01·TK02 city buses finish earlier, so don't assume that you can take the bus instead of the last departure.
When you have finished using public transportation, go to the official taxi stand. When arriving late alone, it is practical to first secure the accommodation's late check-in availability, entrance and contact information, and compare transportation to the front of the accommodation rather than dragging a suitcase to a distant station or dark unfamiliar road.
For reservation pickup, you must check the flight number tracking, free waiting time, delay surcharge, and contact method on the reservation confirmation.
If you decide to stay near the airport, check the check-in deadlines for actual hotels available for reservation, means of transportation from the airport, and transportation for the next day. Don't plan on the assumption that you can stay overnight in the airport lobby.
Airport departure timetable to choose boarding date ↗Choose hotels in Chatan, Onna-son, and Nago separately from those travelling to the city.
Chatan · 北谷, Onna Village · 恩納村 and Nago · 名護 are not Yui Rail destinations. Compare the resort hotel name with the actual stop name, then compare the direct airport bus to the reserved vehicle.

Fares by time and stop by period ↗ · Information on connecting hotels and stops ↗Reserve the hotel stop limousine at the correct area/hotel.
For the Okinawa Bus Limousine departing from Bus Stop 1 at the airport, use tickets for the actual operating areas such as A, B, C, CD, D. AB·E·DE are currently marked as closed in the operator information. Area A is divided into Chatan and Ginowan Hotels, C is towards Onna Village, and CD and D are towards northern Onna Village and Nago Resort.

It is not possible to use it only for the section between Airport → Naha Bus Terminal and Prefectural Office.
Check whether the drop-off hotel/waiting location is the same as the actual reservation accommodation. For example, BEB5 Okinawa Seragaki · BEB5沖縄瀬良垣 does not stop inside the hotel. Check the Otakushibaru (太田後原) stop designated by the operator with the hotel access information.
Delayed flights and typhoon-related service changes
Okinawa Bus Limousine departs on time without waiting for flight delays. In principle, refunds must be applied for at the place of purchase before the departure time indicated on the ticket, and the operator's ticket provides a 100 yen fee per person and additional conditions for each seller.
Check the remaining seats and purchase conditions to see if you can use or change the next service. This is not to be confused with the terms and conditions for use of empty seats on the next airport shuttle.
If you are comparing reserved pickups, you can check by entering the actual accommodation address and arrival date and time in Klook's Naha Airport departure pickup and use conditions. Klook's official FAQ distinguishes between pickup based on flight arrival and fixed time pickup.

Check the official FAQ for OTS delays and changes. OTS Delay/Change Official FAQ
For pick-up and hire cars, please inform the reservation sales office and the actual company of your reservation number, flight number, and changed estimated arrival time. The ‘airport branch’ of a hire car does not mean the pick-up counter in the terminal. Transportation to the sales office may be required, and you must check the transportation deadline and final pick-up time. Please note that OTS is currently discontinuing new reservations for out-of-hours departures, so don't assume overnight takeover is a given.
If there is a typhoon notice, check each flight, airport terminal, Yui Rail, and selected bus. It is not possible to conclude that all transportation services will be suspended based on weather alone.
Transportation usage and purchase information
If you are going to city centre Naha, compare the regular Yui Rail ticket, TK01, and TK02 fares first. The tourist admission ticket does not connect to the airport transportation ticket. You can check the sections for Yui Rail tickets at the station and for resort transportation in the official sales and reservation information below.
How to get to the hotel from Naha Airport, frequently asked questions
How do I get from the international arrival hall to Yui Rail Station?
After completing immigration, baggage pickup, and customs, go to the arrival lobby on the first floor of the international flight area. Take the elevator or escalator to the 2nd floor and go to the domestic section. Follow the monorail signs and cross the 2nd floor domestic passageway to Naha Airport Station. After passing through the ticket gate, go up to the upstairs platform. In the official airport information, walking times for each arrival area are not specified, so fixed times are not provided. Immigration, waiting for baggage, and moving to the station are separate from train on-board journey times.
If it’s an accommodation on Kokusai Street, which station should I get off at?
First, compare Kencho-mae Station on the west near the prefectural office and Palette Kumoji, and Makishi Station on the east toward Saion Square and Makishi. For the city centre and the public market area, it is recommended to take separate walking routes from Makishi Station and Miebashi Station to your accommodation address. If you choose a station based solely on the address of Kokusai Street, you may end up walking down the street for a long time dragging your luggage.
How do I get from Asahibashi Station to Naha Bus Terminal?
From the ticket gate, use the pedestrian deck leading to Kafuna Asahibashi Building A, then go down to the first floor of the building. The Naha Bus Terminal bus stop is on the first floor. Check the route number, destination, and bus stop number of the bus you wish to ride, and pay the bus fare separately from Yui Rail.
Can I go to Chatan, Onna Village, and Nago by Yui Rail?
Yui Rail is a monorail that connects Naha Airport with Naha and Urasoe stations. It does not go to Chatan, Onna Village, or Nago. Accommodation in the area should be compared to the actual drop-off stop for the bus departing from the airport or the vehicle you reserve. Even if the bus to the resort passes through Kencho-kitaguchi, you cannot only take the city section from the airport to that stop.
If I have a lot of luggage, should I compare bus, Yui Rail, or taxi?
Yui Rail is less affected by congestion, but you still have to carry your luggage from the station to your accommodation. For city route buses, check the stop close to your accommodation and the vehicle's luggage storage space, and for resort buses, check trunk baggage conditions and the section you must walk after getting off. Taxis can go to the front of the accommodation, but you must check whether the number of people and suitcases fit in the vehicle, meter fare, late-night surcharge, and payment method before boarding.
What transportation can I use if I arrive late at night?
In the holiday timetable on October 4, 2026, Yui Rail departure from Naha Airport Station is from 06:00 to 23:30. TK01 and TK02 to the city depart from the airport on weekends and public holidays from 07:48 to 21:21 and end earlier than the train. Don't judge whether you'll board the last departure based on landing time alone. If public transport has stopped running, go to your accommodation in Naha city from the official taxi stand on the 1st floor, or check the conditions for late arrival of the pre-confirmed pickup. You should also make reservations for hotels near the airport after checking the check-in deadline and actual airport transportation method.
If my flight is delayed, what happens to my scheduled pick-up or hire car?
If you become aware of a delay, inform the reservation sales office, actual operating company, or hire car pickup office of your reservation number, flight number, and changed estimated arrival time. Check each pick-up waiting limit, additional charge, reservation change, hire car business closure, and airport transfer deadline. The Okinawa Airport Shuttle informs you that if there are empty seats on the next service, you can use it by informing the driver of the name and status of the person making the reservation, but the same conditions do not apply to other buses and pickups. Flight delays alone do not guarantee automatic refunds or extended business hours.
