“Connecting Japan to the World.” Narita International Airport, more commonly known as Narita Airport, is an international airport serving the greater Tokyo area of Japan. Surprisingly, the highly trafficked airport is located about 60 kilometers east of central Tokyo in Narita, Chiba, as opposed to Tokyo’s other main airport, Haneda Airport, which is more centrally located in the city. Traditionally, Narita handled the majority of Tokyo’s international flights, while Haneda was a hub for domestic traffic. In recent years, Haneda has widened its reach and now includes an international terminal. Even so, Narita Airport still handles most of Tokyo’s international flights.
Narita International Airport has opened a PCR Testing Center that can provide negative coronavirus test certificates in as little as two hours for those embarking on international travel. Test & Certificate rates start from 39,800 yen for those booked for an appointment.
Narita Airport holds itself to the highest standard when it comes to passenger safety and has acquired international accreditation for its COVID-19 countermeasures under the Airport Health Accreditation (AHA) Program conducted by the Airports Council International (ACI).

Naritasan Shinshoji Temple (成田山新勝寺) is a Shingon Buddhist temple complex founded in the 10th century. This historic site is located in Narita City, Chiba and about a 20 minute walk from JR Narita Station. Due to the station’s close proximity to Narita Airport, the temple is a perfect spot for travelers to sample the area’s rich culture during long layovers. The renowned temple is a must-see and known as the second most visited temple in Japan, after Meiji Shrine. The journey to Naritasan is a cultural experience in itself. After exiting JR Narita Station, visitors must walk along Omotesando, which is a pleasant street lined with traditional craft shops and restaurants — some serving freshly grilled eel dishes. Once visitors reach the temple, they are greeted by Niomon Gate, a grand structure whose presence hints at the notable buildings and relics within. Explore Naritasan’s highlights, though if time permits, guests should explore the entire temple and dedicate some time to prayer for an immersive and spiritual experience.
