No exchange counter, but two international-friendly ATMs (Arrivals lobby and upstairs by Departures) keep you covered. For cash, city banks in Tsuruoka or Sakata tend to beat airport kiosk rates; make one larger withdrawal to minimize fees and skip the post‑flight rush.
Shopping here is low-stress and local: think dadachamame treats, Yamagata sake, and a few beauty minis at regular prices, with a small pop-up duty-free only when international charters run. Landside shops track flight times and are open to arrivals, while the airside kiosk handles last‑minute grabs before boarding.
Small but satisfying, Shonai Airport serves up a few easy bites: a runway‑view restaurant, a cozy coffee counter, and a gate‑area kiosk for last‑minute snacks. Expect fair prices and a chance to try local flavors like Yamagata soba and dadacha‑mame treats before you board.
Help is close at hand: staff can arrange free first aid near Arrivals or Departures and AEDs are easy to spot, while pre-security shops stock common medicines and travel kits. Hours mirror the flight schedule, with paid purchases for meds and any off-site clinic visits.
Travel lighter with coin lockers on Shonai's first-floor concourse, near both arrivals and check-in, and an information counter that can hold oversize gear when staffed. Expect simple, cash-friendly storage from around ¥300–¥800 per 24 hours, with access during terminal hours and straightforward size and ID rules.
Settle into bright, comfortable seating before or after security—free Wi‑Fi, handy outlets, and tarmac views make waiting easy. No airline lounge here, but you’ll find quiet corners and a relaxed pace; the terminal follows flight hours rather than 24/7.
Shonai Airport opened in the early 1990s and operates from a single compact terminal, serving as a small but important gateway to Yamagata’s Shonai coast. The airport handles primarily domestic flights—most notably regular services to Tokyo—operated by carriers such as All Nippon Airways with occasional seasonal or low-cost services expanding connections. Travelers can reach nearby cities like Sakata and Tsuruoka by regular shuttle buses, taxis and rental cars in roughly 20–30 minutes, with links to local train stations for wider access. Generally budget-friendly compared with larger hubs, Shonai often offers competitive fares to Tokyo, though prices rise during peak tourist seasons.
