Arriving at Narita International Airport (NRT)
Narita lies about 60 km east of central Tokyo. From arrivals, the Narita Express reaches Tokyo and Shinjuku in roughly 60–90 minutes, while the Keisei Skyliner reaches Ueno in about 41 minutes. Some international flights use Haneda (HND), which is closer to the city, so verify your arrival airport. Collect a Suica or PASMO IC card and pocket Wi-Fi or an eSIM at the airport; signage is bilingual and immigration with a valid e-visa is quick and orderly.
Baggage allowances and extra-bag fees
Japan-bound full-service fares are generous: ANA and Japan Airlines often allow 2 pieces up to 23 kg each, while Emirates and Singapore Airlines typically give 30 kg in economy. If your Calicut feeder to Delhi is a separate IndiGo booking, it may include only 15 kg, so reconcile allowances before splitting tickets. Buying excess at the airport is costly — frequently several thousand rupees per bag — so always pre-pay online if you expect to be over your limit.

Why Tokyo is worth it for Kerala visitors
Tokyo pairs futuristic districts like Shibuya and Shinjuku with historic Asakusa and Meiji Shrine. Indian travellers love bullet-train day trips to Mount Fuji, Kyoto and Hakone, the gadgets of Akihabara and food ranging from ramen to vegetarian shojin cuisine. The city is famously clean, safe and punctual, and its rail network makes getting around easy. Vegetarian and Jain visitors will find Indian restaurants across the city, particularly in the Nishi-Kasai area, which has a large South-Asian community.
