Narita International Airport

Award-winning airport

I feel fortunate living here that there are some world-class airports in terms of timeliness, cleanliness, and so forth. Narita Airport always ranks highly on these global lists, and while I would usually prefer Haneda over Narita just based on proximity to central Tokyo, Narita definitely has its benefits, too. There are several comfy options for getting to and from the airport (N'EX, Keisei Skyliner, limousine bus, etc.) so it's a relatively pleasant journey into the urban center even though the airport is located in Chiba. I will say it's important to check your flight time, because depending on when you arrive/depart you might find no public transport options available. Getting a cab from Narita into the city is expensive, too, so just keep that in mind.
