On Narita Airport's official YouTube channel, we post a variety of videos about Narita Airport that you can't watch anywhere else! Our videos give viewers an easy-to-understand introduction to Narita Airport's initiatives, spots we recommend, information about facilities and events, and the work people do at the airport.
We especially recommend the "Airport Staff Visit..." features, in which NAA staff take a trip to their favorite cities served by routes from Narita Airport, and show viewers everything from check-in to how they spend their time on the plane and what they enjoy doing in the tourist spots they visit!
So far, these videos have showcased local attractions at destinations served by domestic routes to Miyazaki, Hokkaido, Hiroshima, and Ehime, and those served by international routes to Thailand and Hawaii.
In our office , the top recommendation was the two-parter "Airport Staff Visit Hawaii"!!! It features the journey from Narita Airport to Hawaii, followed by a real girls' getaway in which staff enjoy Hawaii to the fullest. The videos don't just highlight Hawaii's many attractions and pastimes, including shopping at Ala Moana Center, the island's largest shopping mall, and trying the marine sport stand-up paddleboarding (SUP); they're also packed with lots of other helpful information, including the basics of overseas travel. Just watching them gives you a taster of the holiday mood!
In addition, the channel's got information on events and profiles of the work people do at Narita Airport. It's chock-full of content that everyone can enjoy, whether you're interested in airports and aircraft, or you just love traveling. We do hope you'll subscribe to our channel!

First store at an airport! History and traditional techniques comes alive <NOUSAKU> |
|
|
| Manufacturer of cast metal items Nousaku has opened its 17th directly managed store in Japan right here at Narita Airport. This is the Toyama Prefecture-based company's first store at an airport. |
 |
|
Metal casting is a traditional craft that has flourished for more than 400 years in the city of Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture. Founded in 1916, Nousaku upholds these traditional techniques. When it was first established, Nousaku principally made Buddhist ritual objects, tea ceremony utensils, and vases, but it has added such items as miscellaneous decorative goods, tableware, lighting, and objets d'art to its lineup in recent years. Thanks to these efforts, Nousaku continues to convey the appeal of Takaoka copperware—designated a traditional craft by the national government-to modern-day consumers.
Nousaku's casting and finishing techniques cultivated through the manufacture of Buddhist ritual objects and tea ceremony utensils have given rise to products including wind chimes with a beautifully clear timbre and elegant tableware made of pure tin.

Designed to evoke thoughts of air travel, these pure tin chopstick rests in the shape of airplanes are a limited edition product exclusive to the Narita Airport store. You're bound to find memories of your trip springing to mind each time you use these chopstick rests on your dining table. They're presented in a special sky-blue box.
Nousaku's flagship products are pure tin saké cups and pitchers, which are said to impart a mellow, rich flavor to Japanese saké and water alike. The opulence of the items lined with gold leaf-a traditional craft in the Kanazawa area—makes them an ideal gift, too. Other items that are popular as souvenirs symbolic of Japan include saké cups in the shape of Mount Fuji and chopstick rests in the shape of knots. |

We hope that people from across the globe who visit Narita Airport, the gateway to Japan's skies, will get some small sense of the splendor of Japanese craft products and the handiwork of the artisans who make them by discovering the appeal of this traditional Toyama craft.
For those traveling back to their home countries overseas, our products can serve as a memory of your trip to Japan. We'd also encourage Japanese people visiting other countries to consider these items as the ideal typically Japanese gift. |
