The known and loved NRT! The city’s sky gateway for flights from around the world.
The international airport and gateway to Tokyo, visited by 44 million travelers each year (as of 2019). Opened in 1978, this world-famous airport (airport code NRT) has ferried over 6 million flights both in and out of Japan. The airport grounds include 3 different passenger terminals, a freight terminal and is currently planning to open a new runaway in addition to its two runways currently open.
Even if you’re not getting on a plane yourself, there are plenty of spots to enjoy within the airport. In addition to high-end shopping at well-known brand shops, there’s a colorful array for foodies to love including ramen, Japanese and western fare.
One spot especially popular with the kids is the observation deck. With an impressive view overlooking the planes in all their glory, you won’t be able to help snapping a picture. The deck is fully equipped with a safety fence with big enough camera-holes to help you get your un-blocked shot! There’s a Mini Gallery of Japanese Art, with images across the ceiling and walls provided by the Tokyo National Museum, as well as sculptures and stained-glass art pieces throughout.

Narita Airport is super convenient! On the 2nd floor of Terminal 1, there are showers and nap rooms. The showers are charged by the half hour, and they provide free shampoo, conditioner, body wash, towels, and a hair dryer. Highly recommended!
Narita Airport introduced Face Express in 2021. It's a self check-in system that verifies your passport and registers your face, so you don't need to show your boarding pass or passport anymore. From baggage drop to security and the gate, it's all facial recognition. Super convenient! 🤣👍

This time, I took the JR East Narita Express (N'EX) train, which goes straight to major stations in both central Tokyo and the suburbs. It's the most popular way for foreign travelers to get from Narita Airport to Tokyo 🧰 Super convenient!
Since I just returned to Taiwan from Narita Terminal 2 on October 12, 2022, here's an update on the airport. In the early days after visa-free entry reopened, the departure hall on the third floor was still pretty empty and quiet. About half of the shops and restaurants on the fourth floor were still closed. According to the staff at the open stores, the closed shops would start hiring and training staff from November, so some will reopen then. I believe the airport will get much busier in the future.
Also, there's now a new low-cost bus (LCB) running between Narita Airport and Tokyo since August 2022. It goes to places like Kawaguchi, Toyosu Market, Ikebukuro, Shibuya, and Ginza. A one-way ticket is less than JPY 2,000, so it's definitely worth considering for your next trip.
Narita International Airport is located in Chiba, making it a great spot for overseas visitors to explore nearby attractions. From late March, you can catch the cherry blossoms here. There are three unique spots for cherry blossom viewing, making it a great place for hanami.
