It’s been several years since our last“Airports & Airliners” tour to the ‘land of the rising sun’ so it’s about time we went back!
The airlines have updated and expanded their fleets and continue to paint a good number of their aircraft in fabulous,colourful schemes.
We have an initial two full days on Haneda Airport’s superb observation decks (ODs). For a long list of airlines that fly from Haneda, please see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haneda_Airport. There are ODs on all 3 Terminals, with free coach transfers between them all.
We then move on to have three full days at Narita Airport. Using the hotel’s free shuttle coach service to transfer to and from the airport. As well as ODs on both terminals, which are free and are open from early till late there is also the Museum of Aeronautical Sciences: an aviation museum located on the perimeter of the airport at the southern end of its west runway which has 15 or so aircraft on display. The main attraction of the Museum is that there is an observation deck; a barrier-free viewing terrace; an Observation Exhibition Room; the Balloon restaurant; and on the 6th floor, a rooftop OD with a view of the southern end of both Narita Airport's runways.
Finally we transfer back to Haneda Airport for a final day on the OD's here before out flights home.
