British Airways flights to Tokyo arrive at Narita International Airport, 38 miles from central Tokyo. After your Tokyo flight, throw yourself in at the deep end with a walk round buzzing Shinjuku and enjoy panoramas of Tokyo from lofty skyscrapers. In the evening, you can relax with a beer and snacks at a lively izakaya bar on one of Tokyo's lantern-filled backstreets.
When your flight arrives in Tokyo, hop on the Narita Express, which takes you to central Tokyo Station in 53 minutes. Alternatively, the Airport Limousine stops at Tokyo's hotels, taking 90 minutes to two hours to reach various locations around Tokyo. The Keisei Skyliner also travels to Ueno and Nippori in north-east Tokyo in 51 minutes. A taxi may seem appealing after your flight, but Tokyo's cabs are costly, and the long trip into Tokyo from the airport is very expensive. Always check train and bus timetables before outbound flights from Tokyo as schedules can be irregular.
After your Tokyo flight gets in, you may be surprised by how green Tokyo is. Unwind after your flight in Tokyo's parks. Try Shinjuku Imperial Garden for rolling lawns, Japanese gardens and teahouses. Get into the swing of Tokyo's nightlife singing karaoke in Roppongi, Tokyo's party district. Before your flight leaves Tokyo, pick up souvenirs such as mochi sweet rice cakes from the stalls of Nakamise in front of Asakusa's Senso-ji temple. Leave time to pick up pretty stationery from Ito-ya in Ginza and gadgets from Shibuya's Tokyu Hands before your flight departs from Tokyo.
