Meet the Giant Airport!

Imagine a place so big it's like a small city just for airplanes! Narita International Airport is one of Japan's biggest airports. It's like a giant playground for planes, where they get ready to take off and land. It's so huge that it covers more land than 2,800 soccer fields! Lots of people work here to help passengers and make sure everything runs smoothly, like a well-oiled machine.

Where Do All the Planes Go?

Narita Airport is like a super-connector for people traveling around the world. It's the main stop for many big airplanes that fly to and from faraway countries. Think of it as a giant hub where planes from everywhere meet. In one year, over 33 million people have traveled through Narita! That's more people than live in many big cities combined!

The Super-Long Runway!

Did you know that Narita has a runway that is as long as 40 football fields put together? It's one of the longest runways in all of Japan! This super-long runway is important because it gives big airplanes enough space to speed up and safely lift off into the sky, or to slow down when they land. It's like a super-highway just for planes!

A Very Special Rule!

Narita Airport has a special rule: it has to close at midnight and can't open again until 6 in the morning. This is because the airport is close to where people live, and they want to make sure everyone gets a good night's sleep without too much noise. It’s a way to be a good neighbor to the people living nearby.
