Kansai Airports is pleased to announce that new stores (27 stores in total) are selected for the international departure area of Kansai International Airport Terminal 1, which is currently under renovation.
In addition to walk-through duty-free shops, the new international commercial area will feature a totally new concept that consists of one central plaza and four areas with different moods (Mood area), providing a new travel experience for passengers. The design and stores in the mood area are based on the four different atmospheres, so that customers can enjoy the area fit to their mood.

The new international commercial area is now open, after launching on 05 December, and is available for consumers.
The T1 renovation is progressing smoothly toward a grand opening in spring 2025, aiming at expanding the international terminal capacity of KIX, enhancing the airside area (the area after security check), and improving the passenger experience in anticipation of an increase in the international flight numbers in the Kansai area.
Kansai Airports Group will continue to work with all relevant stakeholders to enhance the function of Kansai International Airport, the gateway to the Kansai Region, that welcomes domestic and international passengers by promoting projects with safety and security as our top priority.
