Our trip to the US was via Japan Airlines (JAL), which meant we had a layover at Narita International Airport where we changed planes. The stop was over three hours and so I took my time walking from our arrival gate towards our boarding gate in the satellite terminal of the airport. This was so I could get a few, ok a lot, of photos. Of course, I wasn’t able to and didn’t take photos at sensitive areas of the airport (immigration, security checks) as these areas prohibit the use of camera and cellphones.

Signs show the way for transfer passengers (Green) and those staying in Japan (Yellow).

The long corridor connecting the main Terminal 2 to the satellite is quite spacious.

There are moving walkways along one side of the connector’s right corridor.

We really liked the “modern Asian” feel of the interior of Narita Airport

I will be writing a few more articles on airports in future posts.
