JAL will finally renovate the old international Sakura Lounge at Osaka Kansai Airport which has very limited offerings at the moment. The renewed lounge will continue to use the "modern Japanese" concept as seen at the new international lounges at Tokyo Haneda Airport. As seen in the mock up, the design is very similar to the ones we see at Haneda.
The renewed lounge will be at the exact same location of the existing lounge, which is located on the 2nd floor of Terminal 1. It be more comfortable and will have a buffet counter, lockers, and photo booths. Renovation is scheduled to complete in July 2015. JAL will release more details on the enhanced Sakura Lounge at Kansai in June.
