Narita Airport, Tokyo

Narita Airport, is also known as New Tokyo International Airport, located in the city of Narita in Chiba Prefecture, about 60 km outside of Tokyo. It consists of two terminal buildings, terminal 1 and terminal 2, with each airline being assigned to one of the two terminals.

In this issuse I’ll present mostly Terminal 1, which is absolutely funky and magnificent place. Narita Terminal 1 handles mostly US and European airlines‘ flights plus Cathay Pacific, Korean Air and Singapore Airlines.

In the earily 60′s Tokyo International Airport was quickly becoming overcrowded. So Japenese government had decided to built a bran new airport with multufunctional terminal. On April 1, 2004, New Tokyo International Airport was opened its doors named as Narita International Airport.

Terminal 1 uses a satellite terminal design and it’s very stylish.Check-in is processed on the fourth floor, and departures and immigration control are on the third floor. Arriving passengers clear immigration on the second floor, then claim their baggage and clear customs on the first floor. Most shops and restaurants are located on the fourth floor of the Central Building and they are absolutly lovely and gorgeous. You can chillin and enjoy your timing there.
