Narita International Airport, International airport in Narita, Japan.
Narita International Airport is an aerodrome in Narita with two passenger terminals that process daily connections between Japan and destinations worldwide. The facility includes check-in zones for domestic and international flights along with shops and service areas inside the terminal buildings.
The site opened in the late 1970s to serve international air traffic after space demands at Haneda exceeded capacity. The location evolved gradually over the following decades through additional terminals and infrastructure expansion.
Throughout the terminals, travelers encounter displays of regional crafts and small exhibitions that reflect local traditions from across Japan. Before boarding, passengers can sample green tea at dedicated stands or browse handmade souvenirs representing different prefectures.
The facility runs around the clock and offers train links to central Tokyo with journey times of roughly one hour. Signs in English and Japanese help with orientation, and escalators and elevators connect the levels.
Inside the terminals, Japanese gardens feature seasonal plants and water elements that provide travelers with a calm environment. Observation platforms allow visitors to watch planes take off and land against the backdrop of the surrounding landscape.
