Getting from Okinawa city center to Okinawa airport

The fastest options are taxi and private transfer, while budget travelers often choose the Yui Rail monorail or limousine bus.

Okinawa Island is served by Naha Airport (OKA), the main international and domestic gateway located approximately 3 km southwest of Naha city center. Travelers heading to the airport from central Naha have several convenient options including the Yui Rail monorail, limousine bus, taxi, and rental car. For those traveling from resort areas further north such as Chatan or Nago, bus and taxi services are the primary choices. Journey times and costs vary depending on your departure point and traffic conditions. This guide covers the key transport options available when making your way to the airport from Okinawa's city center and surrounding areas.

Notes:

  • Prices are in JPY; table created in 2026 and subject to change.
  • The Yui Rail monorail runs from Naha Airport to Tedako-Uranishi station and is the most reliable option from central Naha as it is not affected by road traffic.
  • Taxi fares are metered; journey times from areas north of Naha such as Chatan, Okinawa City, or Nago will be significantly longer and more expensive.
  • Limousine bus services connect major resort hotels in central and southern Okinawa directly to Naha Airport; advance reservation may be required for some routes.
  • Rental car companies at Naha Airport typically operate shuttle buses between the terminal and their off-site lots; allow extra time for vehicle return.
  • We recommend checking official transport websites for your travel planning.
