Travel Blogs from Narita, Japan
Welcome to Japan
... rest of the day was spent getting connected to the internet (of course), finding a snack and sleeping, although it was only midday in Japan. The internet was easy - just get a cable from reception. The snack was ok - some milk and a pot noodle ...
Guam to Tokyo
... brisket. We both had the salmon, and we were pleased with it. After a 3.5-hour flight, we arrived at Tokyo's Narita airport. We breezed through immigration and customs, and found the hotel shuttle pick-up area -- the temperature was just ...
Naritasan Shinshoji Temple
Day 2 - Let's go exploring! After a substantial breakfast, we took the bus into Narita to visit the temple which is in the park which has a lake full of carp. Steven seemed to enjoy it especially climbing the steps which wore him out and ...

Well we made it! Halfway at least. We are currently sitting in Narita International Aiport in Tokyo, Japan. Our flight went very smoothly...10 glorious hours in Economy class. Luckily I web-checked us in last night so we got seats near the front of the ...
Narita, Japan

Sayonara Japan
... to help you out in just about every situation you can think of. So, here I am sitting in the Air France lounge in Narita airport waiting for my flight to board. Clearly got here a bit too early, they wouldn't even start checking bags until 07:45. And ...
Naritsan Shinshoji Temple
This was our main destination for today and I really enjoyed the journey here. At the end of the narrow street that we were following, it opened up to the entrance gate of the temple. The temple stands on higher ground and as we explored the ...
It's a Small World ...
I got a nice aisle bulkhead seat. I slept several hours on the flight. It's amazing what 3 hours of sleep before a trip can do to help you pass the time and adjust to jet lag. So I was talking to the guy sitting next to me. He is a Unix system ...
Love the Upgrades!
Platinum is wonderful when coupled with Northwest's new international upgrade policy. I enjoy hearing the phrase, "Would you like some champagne before we take off, Mr. Vance?" Really, though, the seating and the food are the indispensable parts for that ...
Up in the air
... . He did inform us that they had loaded a significant amount of extra fuel, so that in case of a serious situation at Narita, they would have more than sufficient fuel to make it to an alternative airport, at a large distance from the possible problem ...
Long Layover in Narita
... on board. Once the WorldClubs lounge opened, I camped out there. You get in for free when you have international first class. Saipan-Narita counts as that. So here I am eating shrimp sushi for lunch while I catch up on my entries and wait for my next ...
First Impressions in Japan

Narita City in a Nutshell
... our stuff up to the room and collapsed for the night watching movies on the laptop. In the morning we decided to venture out into Narita City. Bryce found a temple and a park we could walk around in so we decided to do that. We wandered down Main Street ...
One hour layover in Tokyo
Arrived in Narita International Airport in Tokyo Japan at 1645 on Weds afternoon. We had to get off of the plane and go through security to get back on the same plane!!! A little lame, but we guess they did it for security reasons and to clean the seats ...

The home stretch
It's hard to believe that I'm on my way home. I have a layover in Tokyo and I'm kicking myself for not having a proper stop over. There is next year of course ;) I'm in love with efficiency. Singapore airport is so smart! It has a flow, there are ...
Naritarita
Why am I so excited? That's right. I'm off to the States! The land of opportunities. I'm at the departure lounge, waiting for boarding. My destination is Los Angles. All I seek for in Los Angeles would be heaps of action in urban life and a good beach to ...
Tokyo!!!!! ...for one hour...and getting to Bangko
... , peanuts, pretzels and possibly the worst unidentifiable chicken dish of my life... and a neck cramp, we arrived at Narita airport in Japan. First, go through additional security (same as PDX airport) before finding our connecting flight. Gate #14, ...

Almost There!
After a LONG trek across the Ocean, we land in Japan! We still have another flight to get to Korea but we're in Asia now! We're almost there and really not wanting to have to do another flight! UGH.... The excitement of being closer to my Bro makes it ...
You can't make this stuff up!!!!!
... out of Bangkok and it included a cup of yogurt. I didn't eat it so had it in my carry-on as I went through security at Toyko Narita...the security girl sees it and says with a straight face "do you have a plastic bag?" I say "no". She calls her supervisor ...
Getting back to Tokyo
In spite of the hotel forgetting my wake-up call, I woke up in time to check out and catch a taxi to the airport in time for my flight. Things were starting off well. Then when I checked my bags I was told I'd have to claim them in Shanghai and ...
