A Narita Layover Guide
A Quick, Authentic Taste of Japan
Dear passengers in transit to Asia & those flying out of Narita…
Did you know that the area surrounding one of the major entry points to Japan is actually host to an impressive collection of attractions and adventures? That’s right folks! Even if you only have a few hours in Japan or otherwise need to kill time before your flight, the area around Narita International Airport is more than able to deliver a true taste of authentic culture. From an ancient temple with a millennia of history to the recently built Mega Don Quijote department store, the Narita area is the perfect sampler of Japan at large.
As always with my area guides, I’ll be covering the Narita area in extreme depth. I do this so that travelers can best appreciate the cultural context while also being aware of any potential challenges that a visitor might face. If something doesn’t seem of interest to you, feel free to skip liberally. That said, this lengthy article might make for the perfect read while cruising in the sky!
