Begin your journey relaxed at Goa International Airport (Dabolim Airport), an efficient and professional hub reflecting the region's easy-going atmosphere. Planning your departure is straightforward: the airport is about 45 minutes by car from Panaji, or you can take a pre-booked taxi, which is recommended, especially with luggage. The nearest railway station is in Vasco da Gama, about five kilometres away. Limited parking for 400 vehicles is available outside the main terminal.
You will depart from Terminal 2. For a smooth experience, ensure you allow at least an hour and a half for processing, although the airport’s 75 check-in counters and security checks are highly efficient. While you wait, you can access paid-for Wi-Fi, which is complimentary for Business and First Class passengers in the VIP lounge. For refreshments, snack bars and a restaurant in the domestic terminal area offer light and more substantial meals. You can also browse the Duty Free outlets and other retail vendors for travel essentials and souvenirs before you board your flight.
Begin your Japanese exploration in Narita City, a captivating historical location that serves as the gateway to Japan. While many continue straight to Tokyo, a short stop in Narita offers a tranquil glimpse into the country’s authentic Edo-period past. This city, with its traditional character, is easily accessible from the airport via a brief train journey to Narita Station, making it an ideal first or final experience.
From Narita Station, you can stroll along the charming Naritasan Omotesando, a kilometre-long street where you will find shops selling regional crafts and have the chance to sample local delicacies like freshly grilled eel. This historical approach leads you to the magnificent Naritasan Shinshoji Temple. This highly popular Buddhist temple complex, founded in the 10th century, remains a vibrant centre of worship and culture. Explore the imposing structures and the peaceful Naritasan Park, an excellent spot for a leisurely walk through its seasonal gardens.
To delve further into Japanese heritage, visit the nearby Boso-no-Mura, an open-air museum that recreates a traditional Edo-period village, offering immersive craft workshops. Finally, for a unique perspective, stop at Sakura-no-Yama Hill, a picturesque park where you can relax and watch the aeroplanes take off and land at Narita Airport amidst stunning cherry blossoms in the spring.
