Current credit card lounge at Hiroshima Airport, Business Lounge Momiji, will close on December 21, 2025. It will be replaced by a new, larger Hiroshima Airport Lounge ” YAMANAMI VILLA,” which will open on December 24, 2025.

Unlike Momoji, YAMANAMI VILLA will be located airside in the domestic departures area of the terminal. While that will limit its use to passengers departing on domestic flights, it will also mean those passengers, which make up the majority of Momiji users, will not need to think about when to leave the lounge in order to make it through security check on time.

The lounge will be open daily from 6:45 a.m. to 8:40 p.m. and have a large outdoor area. In total, there will be seats for 88 people inside (including work booths and massage chairs) and 78 people outside.

Passengers holding select credit cards will be able to use the lounge for free. Others will be able to pay 1,760 yen (approximately $12) to enter.

Similar to other credit card lounges in Japan, free refreshments will mainly only consist of soft drinks. That said, according to the statement, there will also be free sake tasting and every guest will be able to choose either a free can of beer, glass of wine or a snack.

There are no other lounges at Hiroshima Airport.
