Narita Airport Tips

Narita - Buying Duty Free on Arrival ?

Thinking of buying duty free on arrival at Narita Airport.  Forget it.  Unlike other countries where you can purchase duty free items before clearing customs, Narita airport does not have this facility.

Narita - Will you need a mobile phone in Japan ?

If so you'll need to rent one at the airport.  Pre Paid phones are not available to visiting foreigners. 

Narita - Passport clearance

When you get to the passport control gate you will be finger printed (it's digital so no messy ink stains) and have your photo taken.  A painless affair.

 
Narita - Getting out of the airport

Don't take a taxi, they are very expensive.  

Take either the Limousine Bus Service or the Narita Express Train Service.

The limousine bus service has a counter to purchase tickets from located in the arrivals hall.  Staff speak english so there should not be a problem.

The fares are similiar so the mode of transport you decide will depend on your destination and departure times.  The Limousine Bus Service has drop offs at many of the major hotels in Tokyo so it may be the better option.
