In particular, Narita Airport has a high concentration of flights arriving in the evening and especially on weekends, so quarantine procedures may not be completed in time for public transportation services. It is recommended that public transportation home or connecting flight reservations be made 5 hours after the flight arrival time. For those arriving later in the evening, please plan well in advance by making reservations for lodging near the airport.
