The final stop of my 2023 summer holidays before heading back to Europe, was Narita International Airport. I have arrived there after about an hour train ride from Haneda just with some minor issues with a train ticket which I purchased to the wrong station... Anyway - thanks to the help of friendly station manager I was able to exit the train station after paying a surcharge. Yes... I should have checked the trains before, but at the station where I boarded the train everything was in Japanese...
So, before catching my LOT Polish flight to Warsaw operated by a lovely Dreamliner, I managed to spare several hours while spotting at Narita airport. Last time, when I have had a bit longer time in Narita for photography was in late 2017, so I was really looking forward refill my portfolio with new catches. And... I must admit, I wasn't disappointed at all. I was really lucky with a good weather and interesting traffic. My personal highlight was definitely ANA's Airbus A380 in Green Turtle livery, however I was also happy to add Zippair Boeing 787 and Starlux Airbus A350 to my collection.
See below some of my photos taken at Terminal 1's observation deck (morning hours) as well as - for the first time - as at Sakuranoyama Park (afternoon).
