Alternatively, buses regularly arrive at the terminal, and a taxi ride takes about 20 minutes from the city centre. For drivers, multistorey car parks P1, P2 and P3 connect directly to the terminal, while long-stay parking at P60 is served by a shuttle bus.
When flying internationally outside the Schengen area, you will depart from Terminal E, connected to the Airside Center via the Skymetro automated people mover.

The food court provides a wide selection of dining options, including Swiss chalet style, Italian and Indian cuisine. Before boarding, you can browse the Airport Shopping Centre, which is particularly well-stocked with high-end luxury goods, such as fine watches.
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.
