Notes: Blog about personal experience in Narita, Japan
Short Narita Layover (Transit) – A Town Worth Exploring
By the time we got to Narita airport we were exhausted, dead tired. We had been on the plane for more than 8 hours, but that was only the second leg of our trip with the longest part yet to come. Our return trip started from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore, then Japan and finally back to LAX. We still had a way to go. Norela and I had a few hours to spare, so why not venture to a place close by to check out the locals? We are both inquisitive people, an airport is still an airport wherever you go. We started to feel adventurous so we decided to try the train.
It seemed simple until we realized that English is not widely used once you leave the airport. Once you pass through the airport doors, you enter a foreign world. We used instinct at that point, to attempt to buy a train ticket. We looked for lines of people buying tickets, and then got in line. We pointed at the map and held out some Japanese Yen to the cashier. Luckily, we had previously exchanged some cash with a moneychanger at the airport booth. With tickets in hand, we excitedly hopped on the train.
This wasn’t so bad. Fortunately, for me, my wife had lived or visited most of the world at some time in her life, and Japan was no exception. She is used to getting around just using instinct, curiosity and observation.
It’s a Different World
The first stop after leaving Narita Airport is the Town of Narita, where we disembarked 15 minutes later. We looked like deer in the headlights. Not an English word in sight except for a sign saying,“Matsugishi Ladies Clinic – Happy Birth”. If you want total immersion in a foreign culture, then Japan is for you.
We followed the crowd and took the escalator to the street level. There were black taxis lined up with white gloved drivers. Peering inside we noticed each seat had a immaculate white embroidered head doily.
There was also a bus terminal in front of the station with various lines of people waiting for their particular yellow bus.
Then we saw i
t, billboard in English! It shouted, “Japanese ‘Pachinko’ Casino” at AEON Shopping Center. It hit all of our buttons in one ad, casino and shopping. The next ploy was finding the right bus to take us there. As luck would have it, a bus pulled in with the same billboard ad on its side. We hailed the driver and pointed at the sign. He nodded affirmatively. I held out a fistful of Yen coins, he took the correct amount and we were on our way.
One curious note about taking a bus here, they always turn off the engine when stopped at a traffic light. The bus was dead silent. There was no chatter or radios just muffled ambient outside noise.
As the bus maneuvered around the narrow streets, we noticed shopkeepers sweeping the sidewalks. These were tiny shops so close to the road you felt like you could almost touch them. Behind the shops, there were rows of compact houses stacked neatly on clean narrow streets.
Everything is immaculate here, not one speck of litter or graffiti anywhere. Coming from the U.S. and Malaysia it is very refreshing to experience.
I won’t bore you with the details of the shopping mall except to say that the grocery portion of the store was something to behold. The array of fish on display was so fresh that some were still moving. You have never seen such a variety of fresh mushrooms, in one place, in all of your life. They had little speaker boxes hung over varied produce touting, presumably, their features in Japanese.
The other major notable difference, to the western eye, was the refrigerated cases of freshly prepared sushi. Think of the largest supermarket where you shop and the banks of refrigerated cases holding fresh meat and poultry. Now think of all that meat and poultry replaced by trays of wrapped sushi. Looking through the window behind tho
se cases were 20 workers who were not cutting meat, but wrapping sushi.
We headed out of the mall in search of the Pachinko “Casino” that I had seen in various movies but knew nothing about.
A large yellow arrow pointed the way to the next building, so we followed and entered.
Japanese Pachinko – The Loudest Game You’ll Never Play
The first thing you notice upon entering was the sound. It sounded like a machine shop in full production mode 
and the closer you got to the actual room the louder it became.In fact, if this were a factory in the U.S. you would have been required to wear hearing protection. The reason was these machines each have hundreds of ball bearings that shoot around a vertical surface similar to an American pinball game. We would have liked to have tried it but we did not see a coin slot. There were attendants present, but even if they could speak English, they would have had to yell. Consequently, we just walked around and watched people sitting in front of these machines, starring at the ball bearings cycle around presumably winning money.
With our ears still ringing from the cacophony, we walked out of the Pachinko Parlor and back to the bus stop. We hopped on the bus and, thankfully, took a quiet ride back to the train station.
Outside of the station there was a little food stand. It had a picture of a hotdog on a stick and an
octopus tentacle on 
a stick. I presume that means they serve Japanese and western food.
We made it back to the airport with plenty of time to spare. Checking into Narita as foreign travelers is still less complicated than flying domestically in the U.S. If you have 6 to 8 hours and you are stuck in Narita, take the train, get off and explore your surroundings. You will be glad you did.
