 Narita Airport by skatzcatzLeave a Comment Theme: Airplane

When you start getting into
clocking endless hours of flying,
an airport can make a whole lot of difference
when choosing your stopovers
or just paying that $200 difference
to stop in an airport that is
more convenient and comfortable.
When flying from the East Coast, USA
to a connecting destination in Asia,
if Narita with Japan Airlines is a stopover choice,
then maybe Narita Airport may be the way to go.
If you plan to stay for the night,
or just get out into the city,
there are 3 things to consider
before you book.
1) Immigration Lines are usually long and slow.
2) Japan’s winters can be as cold as Europe.
So, if you are coming from some sunny destination,
such as Bali, then be prepared if you plan exit on transit.
3) It’s over an hour to get into the city.
But otherwise, transiting through Narita has its pluses.
1) For shorter layovers,
there is free internet in Terminal 1.
2) Day rooms and shower are available.
Yes, the rooms look more like cubicles,
but if you are really exhausted…
just turn off the lights
and get horizontal.
Also located in Terminal 1.
There’s not that much shopping to do
in the airport before exiting customs.
If your flight comes in too early
to catch your next flight that same day,
taking an over night or a day room
in the near by Hotel Nikko Narita
is an other suggestion that I can make.
Buses come pick up guests every 20 – 30 minutes.
There are several other hotels in the Narita Airport area.
You can seek more information
at the airports official web-site:
Narita Airport
There are official Day Bus Tours available,
if you want to get to check out the town
within a few hours.
Japan is more expensive than some other Asian cities,
such as Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, etc.
It usually takes about 14 hours from
the West Coast, USA to Narita
and vice-a-versa.
Narita Airport can be a good option for a lay over. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Getting to Narita town from downtown Tokyo was easy in theory but not as easy in practice, especially when you're lugging around all your bags with you (like we were!).
The thing you need to know is that the JR stations have a manned enquiry / information counter and the people there do speak English. In general, the ladies are more patient and polite, as compared with the guys. You also need to know that although there are a number of JR trains, Keisei liner trains and airport buses that go to Narita airport, there are far fewer trains that actually stop at Narita town itself. In fact, the express trains do not stop at Narita town. Finally, don't worry if you bought the wrong ticket. You can top up any difference in price at the "top up ticket" machine when you arrive at your destination.
This link helps you get to and from Narita airport but to get to Narita town takes a little more effort.
For us, upon boarding at Shinjuku station, we were told to change trains at Chiba town in order to get to Narita town.
The next morning, to save us the hassle of lugging the bags around, and so as not to waste time, we just took a taxi from the ryokan at Narita town straight to Narita airport. For those with more time (and less luggage), you can take a JR train to Narita town to Narita airport. Do be aware that there are two stops, one for Terminal 1 and the other for Terminal 2.
If you are arranging to be picked up from Narita station, please be aware that there is an East exit and a West exit. Furthermore, there are two train stations, one for the Keisei line and the other for the JR line. It is not the same station.
Good luck! : ) Leave a Comment
