Terminals 1, 2 and 3 at Tokyo Narita Airport

Tokyo Narita International Airport operates three passenger terminals—Terminal 1, Terminal 2 and Terminal 3—serving both international and domestic flights. Because some airlines use different terminals for domestic and international departures, always verify the terminal printed on your ticket before travelling.

Terminal shuttle buses connect all three terminals before security: buses between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 take about 10 minutes each way, buses between Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 take 3 to 6 minutes, and circular buses serving all three terminals take about 14 minutes from Terminal 1 to Terminal 3. Passengers moving between Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 can also walk directly along the covered pedestrian access corridor, and airside transit shuttle buses link the terminals for international connecting passengers.

Tokyo Narita Airport with children

Families can borrow baby strollers of charge at any information counter across Terminals 1, 2 and 3—including after clearing inbound passport control and customs on arrival—and return them to the nearest information counter before boarding. Nurseries equipped with private breastfeeding booths, diaper changing stations, washbasins and hot water for formula are located throughout all three terminals.

Kids Parks are available in Terminal 1 (Domestic 2F after security and Central Building 3F after outbound passport control, plus a Baby Play Space), Terminal 2 (Main Building 4F before security, Domestic 2F after security and International 2F after passport control) and Terminal 3 (Main Building 2F after domestic security and 3F after international passport control), alongside a Kinder Platz play area on the 5th floor of Terminal 1 before security (open 10:00–19:00). Airside electric carts also operate in the departure areas of Terminal 1 (09:00–19:00) and Terminal 2 (09:00–20:00) for passengers with small children, seniors and travellers with disabilities.

What to check before you go to NRT

Before boarding your train to Narita, check which terminal your airline uses so you alight at the right station: get off at Narita Airport Station for Terminal 1, or at Narita Airport Terminal 2·3 Station for Terminals 2 and 3. Check-in counter locations can vary by day, so verify your row on the departure information boards when you enter the terminal.

If you are connecting at Narita onto another international or domestic flight, allow time for transfer security screening, which Japan requires for all connecting passengers even if you already cleared security at your origin airport.
