3-minute walk from T1 beats waiting for shuttles
P2 Parking sits directly in front of Terminal 1 at Chubu Centrair, about a 3-minute covered walk to the departure lobby via the pedestrian deck. It’s the short-term multi-story garage you use for drop-offs, quick trips to Tokyo or Sapporo, or meeting an arriving flight without stressing about bus timings.
Rates in P2 start with a short free window: the first 30 minutes cost ¥0, which works well for fast pick-ups at T1. After that, you pay in 30-minute blocks, and the daily maximum caps at a set amount published on Centrair’s price table, so an overnight doesn’t spiral into business-hotel money.
P2 is open 24 hours, tied to the operating hours of T1 and T2, and uses automated ticket machines at the entry gate. You pull a ticket on arrival and pay at a multilingual pay station before exiting; machines accept yen cash and major cards. Keep the ticket handy, because you need it for both payment and exit, and a lost ticket triggers a fixed-fee charge.
Height clearance in the P2 garage is limited (check the Centrair listing for the exact meter figure), so tall vans and roof-box SUVs often get redirected to surface lots. Spaces are standard-width, and there are marked priority bays on lower levels near elevators, which is useful if you’re traveling with kids and checking two 23 kg suitcases.
If you’re catching an early ANA or JAL departure from T1 around 07:00, aim to enter P2 by 05:30 to leave time for parking, walking to the terminal, and a possible security line. One last tip: snap a photo of your level and row number before heading to the elevator; the multi-level layout makes it easy to wander an extra 10 minutes on return.
