January 14, 200521 yr Here's a bit of shameless self-promotion.... Over the years I've compiled the Narita Layover Page which contains information about what to do during a long layover in Narita. Since many flights to LOS from the Mainland US and elsewhere transit through Narita, I thought I'd bring it to the attention of the readers of this forum. Here's a little unsolicited praise I received recently: Hi, Just wanted to write a quick note of THANKS for your amazing narita layover page! I had a 9 hour layover between Bangkok and Los Angeles in Tokyo and if it hadn't been for you, I probably would have wondered aimlessly for hours going out of my mind in the airport for hours! Thanks to you and ALL of your helpful hints, and guidance, I was able to get off of my plane, sail through customs (was so helpful to know that I just had to write 'transit' on my landing card!), store my luggage, and get right onto a train into Narita with no problems! I landed on January 2nd and the temple was aflood with thousands of people visiting for the new year, it was amazing! Had some wonderful tempura udon, and enjoyed ALL of the little shops along the way to the temple. I can't thank you enough, you made my trip that much more special. I had never been to Japan, and your site guided me through every step to make it easy as possible. The maps were great, the suggestions were exceptional, and it was easy as pie to get out of the airport and into town. Thanks again, Keep up the good work! Jennie
