These observation decks can give you the best views of the runways and the planes taking off. Both observation decks have telescope for better viewing so you wouldn’t miss the amazing experience of runway and plane viewing at the same time.

It is truly entertaining to see, you can even stay here for a little while but on a windy or cold day, your human body could only endure a 3-minute viewing here. You can take your best-selfie post while the aircraft take wing.

This is renowned as one of the best sushi restaurants in Japan, would you believe, tucked away in the international transfers area of Terminal 1 at Narita. The sushi is excellent, the prices are reasonable, the service is good, they can handle your English (although a little Japanese does help, especially names of food items.)

Sit at the sushi bar and watch them make the sushi — fascinating! And if you know more than a little Japanese, you can catch the playful comments among the sushi chefs as they work. Or just look out the window and watch the planes. And enjoy really good sushi!
