Where we'd actually go.
Lounge Yamanami Villa
Lounge Yamanami Villa is the most accessible option at HIJ — it welcomes pay-in guests as well as holders of many Japanese premium credit cards, so you don't need airline status to get in. It sits airside in the main terminal and has an open-air deck, a rare touch among Japanese card lounges.
JAL Sakura Lounge
The JAL Sakura Lounge is the flagship branded experience at Hiroshima, remodelled in 2017 with JAL's signature Japanese-design concept. It serves JAL and oneworld premium passengers and eligible status holders, with power outlets at every seat plus snacks and drinks.
ANA Lounge
The ANA Lounge serves ANA and Star Alliance premium-cabin passengers and eligible status holders departing Hiroshima — the most consistent choice if you're flying ANA or a Star Alliance partner out of HIJ.
Lounge Maple
LOUNGE MAPLE is Hiroshima's calm, minimalist card lounge, with natural-wood decor and a quiet atmosphere suited to relaxing or light work before a flight. It's reachable on eligible SkyTeam and Star Alliance access alongside pay-in entry.

Hiroshima Airport runs from a single passenger terminal handling both domestic and international flights, so all of its lounges sit in the same building.

How to get into lounges at HIJ.
Hiroshima's lounges split into two groups. The JAL Sakura Lounge and ANA Lounge are airline lounges for those carriers' premium-cabin passengers and eligible oneworld or Star Alliance status holders. The card lounges — LOUNGE MAPLE, the Momiji Lounge and Lounge Yamanami Villa — sell pay-in entry and admit holders of many Japanese premium credit cards, so you can get in without airline status.
Pay-in day pass
Hiroshima's card lounges — LOUNGE MAPLE, the Momiji Lounge and Lounge Yamanami Villa — sell entry at the door, so you can pay per visit without any membership or airline status. This is the simplest route for most leisure travellers at HIJ.
Japanese premium credit cards
Lounge Yamanami Villa and the other card lounges admit holders of many Japanese-issued premium credit cards (the common 'airport lounge service' benefit on Gold and Platinum cards). Bring your eligible card and boarding pass; guest rules vary by card.
JAL & oneworld
The JAL Sakura Lounge serves Japan Airlines premium-cabin passengers and eligible oneworld Sapphire and Emerald status holders flying JAL or a oneworld partner from Hiroshima.

One terminal, simple choice
- —Hiroshima has a single passenger terminal, so every lounge is in the same building — no terminal-hopping to worry about.
- —If you have no airline status, head straight for a card lounge: LOUNGE MAPLE, the Momiji Lounge or Lounge Yamanami Villa all sell pay-in entry.
- —Flying JAL or ANA in a premium cabin? Use your airline's lounge rather than paying into a card lounge.
Use your credit card
- —Many Japanese Gold and Platinum credit cards include free airport-lounge access — that covers Hiroshima's card lounges, so check your card before paying.
- —Bring the physical card and your boarding pass; the lounge staff check both at entry.
- —Guest policies differ by card — a guest may need a separate pay-in fee even if you get in free.
What to expect
- —These are calm Japanese card and airline lounges — think comfortable seating, drinks and light snacks rather than a full buffet.
- —Lounge Yamanami Villa has an open-air deck, a pleasant spot if you want fresh air before boarding.
- —Power outlets are easy to find, and the JAL Sakura Lounge has power at every seat — handy for topping up before a flight.
Timing your visit
- —Hiroshima is a compact regional airport, so the lounges are calmest outside the main domestic departure peaks.
- —International departures are limited, so plan around your specific flight rather than expecting all-day lounge service.
- —Arrive with time to spare — the lounges are a relaxing place to wait once you're through security.
