2nd Premium Lounge Centrair

¥1,570 gets you into 2nd Premium Lounge Centrair

This T1 landside lounge sits before security near the general check-in area and runs daily from 7:00 to 20:30, so it mainly works as a pre-checkpoint staging spot rather than a place to wait right up to boarding time. Layout and amenities track closely with the original Premium Lounge Centrair, which is why local card guides treat it as extra capacity rather than a different product.

Access is all about cards: MUFG, DC, NICOS, UCS, Orico, Rakuten, Life, Aplus, Micard, JACCS, Epos, and American Express all qualify, and you usually just show the physical card plus same-day boarding pass at the desk. If you do not hold one of those, the day pass is ¥1,570 including tax, paid at entry, which is cheaper than sitting at many T1 cafes for an hour or two.

Inside, think simple airport seating, basic soft drinks, tea, and coffee rather than bar service, and light packaged snacks that match what the other Premium Lounge in T1 offers. Wi‑Fi is free and generally faster than the public NGO network, and you will find standard Japanese 100V outlets along the walls, so bring a multi-port charger if you have more than one device. Expect more laptop workers in the morning bank before the 9:00–11:00 departures.

Because this lounge is before security in T1, you still need to allow enough time to clear passport control and the checkpoint for both domestic and international flights. Build in at least 25–30 minutes from standing up here to being at a nearby T1 gate; more if your airline’s check-in closes early. For tight connections within NGO, this space usually makes sense only if you arrive into T1 and have a longer layover.

The practical move: if you already carry one of the listed cards, use this lounge for a drink, Wi‑Fi, and a seat while you repack bags or sort documents, then head through security 40 minutes before boarding and grab anything substantial to eat closer to your gate.
