Tips for 25 min Connections
If flying JTA or RAC to other Okinawan islands, the domestic terminal is compact and gates are close together, so short connections are manageable.
Allow extra time if your itinerary routes through the LCC Terminal, since the shuttle bus and walk can eat up 20+ minutes on its own.
International arrivals must clear immigration and customs before reaching the domestic side, which can take longer during peak tourist season (spring and summer).
Signage is in Japanese and English, but staff assistance can be limited during rush periods, so confirm your gate and terminal on arrival.
If connecting from an international flight to a domestic one, your checked bags typically need to be re-claimed and re-checked, so budget real time for this.

High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
The Domestic and International Terminals are physically connected via an indoor corridor completed in the 2019 expansion, making that walk about 10 minutes. The LCC Terminal, used by Peach Aviation and several foreign budget carriers, sits apart from the main building and requires a free shuttle bus that takes roughly 10-15 minutes including waiting and loading time.
