I always thought of Japan as a clean, efficient place with great food, good service and attention to detail.... well the obviously forgot about all this when they opened Narita International airport, granted I have only once used this airport in going to Japan and all other times used it in transit to the USA but now a days when I'm asked how I'd like to fly to the USA I always ask, "which route avoids Narita". The stop over for flights to and from the USA to Thailand is 3 hours plus and for any person who enjoys the small things at airports, like half decent food then this is about 3 hours too long. First you have to get into the transit lounge which can take up to 30 minutes to clear the security gates, then you shuffle past the smoking room which leaks so badly that they might as well not bother having one and just say "smoke in the entry area", the food served in the transit area is foul, I LOVE Japanese food and what they serve in Narita wouldn't make it onto your plate in the worst Japanese restaurant anywhere in the world. If I remember correctly there was one small book store in the lounge selling nothing worth buying and then for entertainment you can do laps of the circular lounge until either your plane arrives or you go nuts....
