The length of the flight to Tokyo Narita International Airport (NRT) depends on your city of departure. Auckland International Airport (AKL) is a major hub along this route and has the shortest flight times of about 11h to Narita Airport. You can get flights from Wellington Airport lasting as few as 14h, but if you’re flying out of Christchurch Airport (CHC), expect travel times to Narita in excess of 24h. Almost all departures from Wellington and Christchurch involve connections of varying lengths, which can have a significant impact on your travel plans.
Auckland International is the only airport in New Zealand with Tokyo flight deals involving direct flights to Narita and these require about 11h flight time. Connecting flights are also available from Auckland International as well as Wellington and Christchurch airports and consist of one or more stopovers en route to Narita. For example, one-stop flights from Auckland and Christchurch transfer at Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) but those from Wellington make a brief layover at Auckland. Flights requiring additional connections from Wellington and Christchurch use Auckland and Singapore as transfer points on the way to Narita Airport. Connections add anywhere from 1h 45min-15h 45min to overall journey times and often involve overnight stays.
Narita Airport provides you with a number of transport options for travel to Central Tokyo. Rail service is available from terminals 1 and 2 via JR and Keisei trains. JR operates Narita Express and suburban rail services to Tokyo Railway Station with journey times of approximately 50min and 80min, respectively. Keisei provides Skyliner service with transfers at Nippori Station, which can get you to Tokyo Station in about 50min. The company also operates Morningliner and Eveningliner (reservations required) in addition to Access Express and Limited Express services, which can take a minimum of 1h to Tokyo Station. There are bus connections from Terminal 1 (Lines 1,10), Terminal 2 (Lines 2,19) and Terminal 3 (Lines 1, 2 and 3) with travel times of about 1h to either Tokyo Station or Tokyo City Air Terminal downtown. If you prefer, several companies operate from taxi ranks outside each terminal, requiring about a 1h 10min journey time, or you can reserve Uber or Lyft service with similar travel times to Central Tokyo. There’s a car hire centre at Narita Airport for an additional option.
The 1,000-year-old Naritasan Buddhist Temple along with the Aeronautical Museum are within reach of the airport, so you can pay a visit after your flight to Narita. The Museum of Natural History and Narita Peace Pagoda are other favourite destinations for sightseers while the Aeon Narita shopping mall is a main target for visitors and locals alike. Komikado Shrine Festival in April is a highlight on the cultural calendar. For some of the best nightlife in Narita, including restaurants, bars and clubs, the districts of Roppongi, Shibuya and Shinjuku come highly recommended.
New Zealand citizens require both a passport and visa for travel to Tokyo, Japan.
