centrair International Airport. Nagoya Airport with the airport code NGO is built on a
man-made island on the Ise Bay in the city of Tokoname. Nagoya Centrair
International Airport is located 40 minutes to an hour by train from Nagoya
station. This Nagoya Airport handles both domestic and international flights. There
is one main commercial passenger terminal with 4 floors at Nagoya
Airport with another terminal to be completed in 2019. International
passengers usually arrive on the second floor at Chubu centrair International
Airport. We took a flight from Vancouver Canada to Nagoya Airport and arrived in
the afternoon. The view coming down was pretty of the harbour. It didn't take a
long time to taxi to our gate once our plane landed. As we were disembarking our
plane we saw the Boeing Dream lifter from the
bridge walkway. Once we disembarked our plane we follow the yellow bag sign for
arrivals. Signs are in Japanese, English, and Chinese. If you are transferring to
another international flight at Nagoya Airport, after you disembark your plane
follow the signs for connecting flights
You will walk to a connecting counter and security inspection for
international connections on the second floor then you'll go up to the third
floor for your departing gates. If Nagoya is your final destination or you're
transferring to a domestic flight follow the signs for arrivals. The first place
you'll encounter is the quarantine counter. If a medical form was
distributed on your plane fill in all required fields and give it to the
official in the quarantine counter then proceed to immigration. If you're not a
citizen of Japan, fill out the disembarkation card given on the plane
and hand it to the immigration officer. Once you complete immigration get your
checked baggage in the baggage claim area and then proceed to customs. Fill
out your declaration card and give it to the customs officer once you're in the
customs area. Once you leave the customs area proceed to the arrival hall on the
second floor. If you're transferring to a domestic flight you'll have to take the
elevator or escalator to the third floor check-in for your domestic flight and
then go through security for your gate
In that arrival hall you'll find baggage delivery service,
baggage storage, tourist information centers, restrooms, an ATM ,and the bank
of Bank of Mitsubishi UFJ which offers currency exchange
the bank offered a good rate and it's generally open from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00
p.m. daily
Japan is still a cash dominated country so having some local currency, yen, is
always a good idea. We walked down the arrival hall and saw another tourist
information center, several mobile SIM card vending machines, public phones, the
central Japan Travel Center, and a smoking room. We followed the
transportation signs which led us across an enclosed bridge walkway to the access
plaza. The Access Plaza is a transportation hub and you also find
many amenities. You can find the train station, taxi stand, bus terminal, and the
boat service at the Access Plaza. If you plan to take a train to other parts of
Japan you can catch the Bagoya railroad Meitetsu line from the central Japan
International Airport station located at this Access Plaza. You can take the
meitetsu line to nagoya station which takes about 40 minutes to an hour
depending on the kind of train. Ticketing machines for trains are located next to
the entry of the train station in the access plaza. If you plan on taking the
high-speed boat you can walk 15 minutes to the passageway to the high-speed boat
terminal from the access plaza. High-speed boat connects Nagoya Airport
to Tsu city in Mie Prefecture. If you want to take a taxi follow the signs
down to the escalator to the taxi stand. If you plan on taking a bus follow the
signs to the airport bus terminal and then take the escalator down one floor
to the bus stop. You can also catch a bus to Kyoto and other parts of central
Japan from here. In the access plaza we also found more currency exchange
counters like Travelex and a money changing machine in the Family Mart
convenience store. There is Orale/ Tokoname tourist information counter
located near central air hotel. There's also a mobile rental sim card center,
convenience store, restaurants, hotels and even a free bus to the local mall - from
the access Plaza. Nagoya Airport is convenient, clean, and an easy Airport to
maneuver through. We enjoyed the views and amenities on the fourth floor of
Chibu centrair International Airport Nagoya! Happy Travels! Go to hipfig.com
