Confused at Narita Airport? Watch This Before You Arrive!

Narita Airport Guide for First-Time 
Visitors: SIM, Money, Transport & More Opening
Hello, this time we will bring you a 
complete guide to Narita Airport, one of Japan’s largest international airports.
Narita Airport is one of Japan’s air gateways, with flights from all over the world.
It offers a wide variety of options for transit and travel into the city, 
as well as shopping and restaurants. However, many foreign travelers waste 
time and money due to the “difficulty of travel” and “complexity of the airport.”
In this video, we will tell you all the information you need to avoid getting lost at 
Narita Airport and start your trip comfortably. We’ll cover:
* Overview of the airport and each terminal * What to do first after arrival
* Transportation to central Tokyo * Domestic flight transfers
* Detailed terminal guides Let’s dive into everything you need to know.
Chapter 1: Overview of Narita Airport Narita Airport is not in Tokyo but in Chiba 
Prefecture, about 60 km from central Tokyo. It takes about an hour to get to Tokyo Station, 
so you’ll need to plan your trip well in advance. There are three main terminals 
at Narita Airport: Terminal 1, Terminal 2, and Terminal 3 (LCC Terminal).
It is important to check in advance which terminal you will arrive at and 
which terminal you will depart from. Terminal 1: Mainly used by Japan Airlines 
(JAL) and One World Alliance airlines The exits are divided into the 
South Wing and the North Wing, and ATMs and SIM card purchases can be found 
between these, as well as the Visitor Center. Terminal 2: Mainly used by All Nippon 
Airways (ANA) and Star Alliance airlines. The exits are divided into Lobby A and Lobby B.
It is not as big as Terminal 1. Here too, there are ATMs and SIM card 
purchasing counters between each exit. Terminal 3: Used by low-cost carriers 
(LCCs) such as Jetstar and Peach. I don’t think most people will use it.
You can walk there from Terminal 2. Travel between the terminals is 
possible via a free shuttle bus, but it is recommended to allow enough time.
Chapter 2: What to do first after passing through the arrival lobby
Wi-Fi connection You can connect to 
“FreeWiFi-NARITA” for free WIFI. Note that the connection may be weak and unstable.
(While showing the map) In Terminal 1, NINJA WIFI, ANYFONE, and WIFIBOX 
are located between the North and South Wings. Wifibox is located on the basement floor. Yamada 
Denki is on the 4th floor to purchase SIM cards. In Terminal 2, NINJA WIFI and ANYFONE are located 
between Gates A and B, and WIFIBOX is located on the first basement floor where the trains board.
You can also purchase SIM cards at Bic Camera, located after passing through the departure gate 
on the 3rd floor and heading to the 4th floor. 📺 Want to know which internet 
option is best for you? We subscribed to and purchased 17 
networks and ran a real-time speed test. Check out the video in the description! Currency exchange In Terminal 1, Keiyo Bank is on 
the right side of the South Wing, and the GPA currency exchange is on the left.
There are no currency exchanges in the North Wing. ATMs are located between 
the North and South Wings. In Terminal 2, GPA, Chiba Bank, and ATMs 
are all located between Lobby A and Lobby B. 📺 Are you also curious about how much 
the exchange rates differ at each store? We also have a video where we went around and 
investigated exchange offices at the airport and around town in one day, so don’t miss that!
There’s a link in the description. Luggage management – People who want to start 
sightseeing as soon as they arrive – People who don’t want to carry 
their luggage and want to send it off For these people, we recommend using 
the JAL ABC or Yamato at the back right as you exit the airport. You can send 
your luggage to your hotel from here, so you can get lighter and lighter right away. In Terminal 1, there are JAL ABC and Yamato 
at the ends of the North and South Wings, In Terminal 2, there is a JAL ABC at the A 
Gate side, and Yamato at the B Gate side. Because Narita Airport is far from Tokyo, it often takes an overnight 
trip for your luggage to arrive. Don’t forget to pack an overnight baggage 
allowance in your carry-on luggage. Chapter 3: Transportation to central Tokyo There are several options for transportation 
from Narita Airport to central Tokyo. We will explain the 
characteristics of each in detail. Train Getting to the station is very easy. At Terminal 1, just take the escalator 
right in front of the arrivals gate. At Terminal 2, you can also reach the stations 
by taking the escalator between each lobby. Narita Express (N’EX) ・Fastest route (about 40 minutes to Tokyo Station)
・Price: 3,070 yen one way to Tokyo station. (3,250 yen to Shinagawa, Shibuya, Shinjuku, 
4,370 yen to Yokohama, 4,700 yen to Ofuna) ・Seat reservation required
・Quiet and comfortable, with space for large luggage
・Direct to major stations such as Tokyo, Shinagawa, Shinjuku, and Shibuya
Keisei Skyliner ・Fastest to Ueno/Nippori (about 40 minutes)
・Price: 2,580 yen one way to Ueno Station ・Seat reservation required
・Slightly cheaper than N’EX Both have conventional lines 
that do not incur express fees. For those staying for 14 days or less and using 
Narita Airport on the way back, we recommend the “N’EX TOKYO Round Trip Ticket”, which allows 
you to ride anywhere you get of f and get off for 5,000 yen round trip (2,500 yen one way).
You can purchase it at the ticket counter when you go down to the basement as you head towards 
the station at either Terminal 1 or Terminal 2. Limousine bus
・Direct to major hotels and stations in Tokyo ・Fee: Approx. 3,000 yen one way
・Travel time: 75-120 minutes (depending on traffic)
・Reservations available ・Lugga ge storage available
・Convenient for families Since it is located right at the arrival gate, 
it is a good idea to get on a bus that is timed to get where you want to go, considering 
how long it takes to get into the city. You can easily purchase 
tickets at the ticket machine. Taxi
・Fee: Approx. 20,000-25,000 yen
・Convenient door-to-door ・Suitable for families with lots of luggage
・Language problems may occur There is no particular need to use it, as it 
can be quite expensive due to the distance. Get an IC Card IC cards let you skip buying tickets 
each time and can be used at shops, restaurants, and convenience stores.
There are three types of IC cards: Suica, Welcome Suica, and Pasmo.
* Suica & Welcome Suica can be purchased at the JR Line ticket machines.
* PASMO can be purchased at the Keisei Line ticket machines
You can charge your card at convenience stores and stations that accept Suica cards.
Since there are few stations that accept PASMO cards in the suburbs, we recommend 
Suica, which is easy to charge. Welcome Suica is for tourists and 
has a validity period of 28 days. Furthermore, the money charged is not refundable.
On the other hand, Suica is a card that is used by Japanese people on a daily basis, 
and requires a charge of 500 yen, but the money is refundable at the end.
📺For information on how to ride the train and how to choose and purchase an IC card, 
please see our Complete Guide to Trains. Chapter 4: Transfers to domestic flights
Terminals are mainly divided by airline. Terminal 1: Mainly used by Japan Airlines 
(JAL) and Oneworld Alliance airlines Terminal 2: Mainly used by All Nippon 
Airways (ANA) and Star Alliance airlines Terminal 3: Low-cost carriers 
(LCC) such as Jetstar and Peach If you are using the same airline/alliance, 
there is no need to change terminals. Terminal1 (ANA) is at the end of the south wing,
Terminal2 (JAL) is at the end of the B lobby. Transferring to a different airline
When transferring to a different airline, you will need to move between terminals, so you can use the 
free shuttle buses that run around the terminals. There are buses that run between 
the first and second terminals only, and between the second and third terminals 
only, so be careful when boarding. It’s also possible to walk between the second 
and third terminals in about 10 minutes. Chapter 5: Detailed Guide to Each Terminal Let’s take a closer look at the features 
and facilities of each terminal. Terminal 1
1st Floor As shown in this video, this is where you get ready to start your trip.
There is a Mario corner between the North Wing and the South Wing, where you 
can take commemorative photos. If you are taking the train, take the 
escalator down to the 1st floor.[a][b][c][d] On the 4th and 5th floors there 
are many shops and restaurants. The Pokemon Store in the city is very crowded, 
but this one is empty, so I recommend it. You can purchase SIM cards and prepare 
necessary home appliances at Yamada Denki. Terminal 2
1st floor: This is also the place to prepare for your trip.
If you are taking the train, take the escalator down to the first floor.[e][f][g][h]
Go past the departure gate on the 3rd floor and head to the 4th floor, where 
you’ll find a row of shops and restaurants. There’s a Bic Camera here, so you can buy 
SIM cards and other home appliances here. Narita Airport is not just an international 
airport. It is the first step of your trip to Japan, where you can experience 
Japanese hospitality and convenience. I hope this video will help you and
