In Terminal 2 used by ANA, Air Do, and Solaseed Air, four pods were added on April 16, 2024. In Terminal 1, all the pods are located in one location on the third floor while in Terminal 2, there are two pods on the first basement floor and two on the second floor. All of the pods are located landside, i.e. before the security check.
The pods need to be reserved online and cost 330 yen (approximately 2.15 USD) per 15 minutes.
