While I had access to the ANA Suite Lounge in Haneda’s International Terminal 3 given my first class flight, I wanted to check out the business class lounge so that I had a comparison point. This lounge is very large, but it services a significantly higher number of people than the ANA first class lounge does.
How To Access The ANA Lounge In Haneda International Airport Terminal 3
This lounge is significantly easier to access than the ANA Suite Lounge, which is why there are so many more people here:
- First Class – One guest
- Business Class – No guests
- Premium Economy – No guests & must be on ANA operated flight
- Diamond, Platinum, & Super Flyers Members – One guest (must depart on the same flight as the primary member)

What Are The ANA Lounge’s (Haneda International Airport Terminal 3) Hours?
The lounge is open from 5 AM until the departure of the final ANA operated flight in Terminal 3 on that same day.
Finding The ANA Lounge In Haneda International Airport Terminal 3
After I got through security, I took a right to walk towards Gate 110, which is where the ANA lounges are located.
In a few minutes, I managed to find it under a big sign saying “Airline lounges.”
You’ll then go up a fancy escalator and then see two large doors with a sign. On the right is the ANA Suite Lounge and on the left is the ANA Lounge. I went to both lounges for the heck of it—read my review on the first class lounge here!
Checking Into The ANA Lounge In Haneda International Airport Terminal 3
Check in was smooth and simple. I gave the agent my boarding pass and my passport, she scanned it, and verified that I could come into this lounge. Interestingly, she was a bit hesitant, because she thought that I was only supposed to go to the first class lounge. However, she was able to quickly verify that I would be able to visit this lounge without issues and let me proceed.
The hallway had a whole bunch of little things, like a separate bathroom and a shower room. There was also a nice map of the lounge (you’ll notice it is indeed enormous) alongside some display items from the ANA “Sky Shop.”
Impressions Of The ANA Lounge: Large, But Busy
This lounge uses a lot of black and whites to create a sleek, modern feel, but it does not match up to that of the nearby first class lounge. There are a significant number of seats available for you to use. Unfortunately, since the lounge was so busy, it was hard to get clean photos without a lot of people in the background.
It was actually quite difficult to find areas with outlets. I had to scour around for a bit before I found places with some type of outlets. All the seats immediately near the dining area don’t have any power outlets. Notably, tables each had a little QR code where you could use them to scan and order noodle meals. You could also book a shower room reservation through this link.
Walking towards the other end of the lounge, you could find plenty more seating.
There were also endless rows of black plush seats with direct views of the tarmac. This part of the lounge was no where near as busy as the other side, which was nice because it was a bit quieter and less crowded.
I took a look at the bathrooms at this side of the lounge, which were actually quite nice. They were clean and had a nice, lighter color scheme to them.
Each of the individual bathroom stalls were also nicely thought out, with a little plant and plenty of extra toilet paper. This lounge uses some decent quality soaps as well (those bottles run for about $50 each).
The Food & Drinks At The ANA Lounge: Lots Of Choices
There is a wide variety of food options available at this lounge, ranging from cold, pre-prepared food options to hot, ready-to-eat options. For instance, you could find some rice balls and prewrapped sandwiches.
In the hot food area, you could find fried chicken, fries, stir-fried noodles, and even takoyaki. There were also some multigrain breads available (I found it funny they were displayed like that).
There was also a noodle bar, where you could place an order online via QR code and pick up your food.
You could also find a miso soup tub and a “bar” area with lots of self-service alcohol available.
While this side of the buffet was really busy, the other side was relatively clear. It had about the same foods and drinks.
My Overall Rating Of The ANA Lounge Haneda Terminal 3: A Close 7/10
I rate lounges based on a few general criteria:
- Food Quality & Variety: 6/10
- Cleanliness: 7/10
- Interior Design: 8/10
- Unique Amenities: 7/10
While this lounge is pretty large and spacious, it does service a very large number of passengers, which I think inherently dilutes the value of this lounge. I found the food options and quality ok, but not super impressive. I did like the made to order noodles option, which did include a wide variety of udons and soba noodles. This lounge also doesn’t have an incredibly impressive array of amenities, outside of a smoking lounge, shower, and business center.
Overall, it is an ok lounge. Definitely nicer than the average lounge, but not better than some other lounges I've been to.
