Lounge Osaka sells pay-in entry at the door for guests without a qualifying card or status, so you can pay per visit. It's the only ITM lounge with a walk-in option — the JAL and ANA lounges are status- and fare-based.
Credit card access
Lounge Osaka also admits holders of eligible Japanese gold and premium credit cards as part of its card-holder lounge programme. Check that your specific card is on the list before relying on it, and bring the card and your boarding pass.

JAL vs ANA sides

- —Both airlines run a standard lounge and a higher-tier lounge (JAL Sakura/Diamond Premier, ANA Lounge/Suite Lounge).
No status? Use Lounge Osaka
- —Lounge Osaka in the central block is the only ITM lounge open without JAL or ANA status.
- —It takes DragonPass, eligible gold credit cards and pay-in entry at the door.

Airside vs landside

- —Once you're airside on one airline's side, you can't switch to the other airline's lounges.
Domestic airport, simple visits
- —Itami handles domestic flights only — international Osaka services run from Kansai (KIX), so expect a shorter, simpler lounge stop.
- —Most lounges close in the evening with the last domestic departures, so check hours if you're on a late flight.
- —Lounge Osaka opens from early morning to early evening; the airline lounges follow the day's first and last flights.
