Frequently asked questions

How far is Kitakyushu Airport from the city?
KKJ is about 25 km east of central Kitakyushu on a man-made island. The airport limousine bus reaches Kokura Station in roughly 35 minutes and runs in time with most flights, including the late-night arrivals that other Japanese airports cannot accommodate due to curfews.

Is Kitakyushu Airport open 24 hours?
