Yokoso Japan (Welcome to Japan)

Finally the flight touch down in the Narita Airport, I can feel that Tokyo don't change so much. It was confirmed by Mina later, although she wasn't there for more than 4 years, everything seems to be no change. The weather was cloudy, but I have to get rushing into the connecting flights as it will take 20 minutes walking distance from check point. The airport wasn't so crowed at the time I was arriving, so I am curious why I can't get the same airlines direct flight to Chicago. I tried to check to airlines, and then they confirmed that the flights fully booked by passengers from Japan. Hmm, I keep continuing walking to the airlines which is confirmed in my itinerary. A view minutes talk, then I can get my boarding pass. Along the way, I read some many things that make me interested, as waiting time is around 3 hours.

First, about plants, Mina told me the other day that Durian is allowed to bring to Japan also coconut and pineapple. She said those fruits can't be found in Japan. Second, about Kid’s park, I can find the park in the airport.The facility is available in the airport, this is very seldom available in international airport.



Third, about Massage Chair, It is free at that time but I decided not to try as the cover is fully locked, may be not to be used for sometime, maybe I try next time.

Boarding time is so long, so I think to take a chance to walk around. The domestic airport is located quite a distance from international airport by shuttle buss around 10 minutes. The ambience around domestic arrival is the same as the international airport, except there are two ceramic wall to separate Zone A and Zone B with the flower name Irish and Camellia.

My watch almost reach to boarding time, then I was rushing to go back to international airport, maybe next time to see glass tower and ceramic tie-wall.
The flight was checked-in in the Cargo Area, so all passangers have to take buss to flight parking area which is quite a distance. I met a couple with 2 kids, a japanese man with his wife latin america. They mentioned, this is happened if the airport is full, the flight will be difficult to park anywhere else.
