Airports in Japan

Airports in Japan (Narita)

(Baggage check-in area of Narita Airport)

One of the following three airports in Japan will likely serve as your initial port of entry when flying into the country from overseas.

Narita International Airport (成田国際空港)
If your initial Japan destination is Tokyo, Yokohama, or other areas in the Kanto (eastern) region, then you will most likely fly into Narita International Airport.

Narita International Airport is located in the city of Narita in Chiba Prefecture, about 60km outside of Tokyo. In addition to its basic airport functions, Narita Airport has undergone extensive remodeling in recent years, and now boasts an abundance of tasty restaurants, Internet terminals, stylish brand boutiques, and duty-free shops.

Kansai International Airport　(関西国際空港)
If your initial destination is Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, Nara, or other destinations in the Kansai (western) region, then your flight will most likely be routed to the Kansai International Airport.

Kansai International Airport is located about 50km outside of the city of Osaka. The airport, which opened in 1994, is actually built on a man-made island in Osaka Bay and is regarded as something of a marvel of modern engineering.

Airports in Japan (Chubu) Chubu Centrair International Airport
(中部国際空港)
Chubu International Airport is located in Aichi Prefecture south of Nagoya, and serves the Chubu (central) region of Japan. Like Kansai International Airport, Chubu International Airport, which opened in 2005, also rests on a man-made island.
