- Narita is 60km from central Tokyo — book a Japan Railway (JR) Narita Express or Keisei Skyliner ticket in advance for the fastest transfer to the city
- Free WiFi is available at Narita Airport, but renting a pocket WiFi or activating international roaming before leaving the terminal saves navigation headaches
- If you have a layover, the Narita-san Shinsho-ji Temple and surrounding historic merchant streets are only 10 minutes from the airport by train
