ANA Lounge

Gate 10 in the South Terminal buys you some quiet

The ANA Lounge in Itami’s South side sits just by gate 10 in Terminal T, and regular Star Alliance flyers treat it as a calm domestic waiting room with power and drinks rather than a full meal stop. Hours run from 06:00 until the last ANA departure, so it covers the early commuter bank and the late hops to Tokyo.

Access is for ANA domestic premium passengers and status holders on ANA or Star Alliance, all after security in the South pier of ITM. It matters at Itami: security splits you toward north or south, and this lounge only serves the south side gates near 10, so don’t clear into the wrong pier if your flight leaves from the other side.

Inside, seating is standard ANA domestic lounge style with rows of armchairs and small side tables, many with power outlets at floor level or in the table itself. Complimentary Wi‑Fi runs throughout the room and usually keeps up with streaming and work calls, so people often park here for 30–40 minutes before a Tokyo Haneda hop.

Drinks are the strong point: expect self‑serve beer machines, basic liquor, wine, and soft drinks, all included, matching what LoungeReview lists for this ITM lounge. Coffee machines, tea, and bottled or fountain soft drinks round things out, but food rarely goes beyond light packaged snacks, so don’t plan on anything closer to a meal.

Regulars on FlyerTalk describe this as a “quiet, relatively uncrowded” space compared with some JAL Sakura lounges at domestic airports, especially outside the busiest 07:00–09:00 wave. Many time their visit for mid‑morning or mid‑afternoon, grab a drink, catch up on emails over Wi‑Fi, then walk to gate 10 or a nearby gate about 10 minutes before boarding starts.

Watch out for expectations: this is a domestic ANA lounge with no showers listed, no tarmac views worth planning around, and snack‑level food only. If you want a real meal, many flyers eat at the public restaurants near the T concourse security checkpoint and use the lounge after for a drink and a quiet seat.

Practical tip: check your boarding pass for “South” and a gate in the 10 area before security; if your flight uses the north pier, skip the detour and stay near your own side instead of hiking back and forth through ITM’s split terminal layout.
