A complete guide to urban transportation at Tokyo Narita Airport

Entry

This time I arrived at Narita Airport on an evening flight. Since there were so many passengers arriving in Tokyo during the summer vacation, the queue started far away from the checkpoint. I had to wait in line for an hour just for the customs clearance procedures. Fortunately, VJW had pre-emptive facilities. The order is set and the scan check is very fast! But there are still many foreign tourists who fill in paper forms on the spot, right! If you are traveling with a baby or an elderly person, you can pass the customs quickly.
