Info help ...

Is there a place to get a shower or a cheap hotel around NRT? I will arrive NRT on 10/12 at about 4:25 p.m. and depart 10/13 at about 12:25 p.m. I stayed at the Westin Tokyo this past Feb., but, I had the whole weekend to spend (arrived Friday and departed Monday). It took about 2 hours by bus each way from NRT to the hotel because of traffic and the stops to drop off. With less than 24 hours from arrival to departure, I want to stay around the airport. Thanks for your help.

P/s I have the same MR the next weekend - arrive 10/19, depart 10/20.

Both Shower Rooms and Day Rooms are available at NRT in Psgr Terminal 1, New Central Bld - 3F, World Plaza, Tel. 0476-32-4734.

Rates last time I checked were as follows:

Shower Room - $3.00 US/30 minutes
Day Room (Single) - $5.00/1 hour or $8/1 hour (Twin) - so 8 hours would be $40 for one person - a deal which is hard to beat in TYO. BTW Internet access is also available here for $3.00/30 minutes.

Other reasonable hotel Options include:

1. NRT Airport Holiday Inn - just a short bus ride from the airport - around $75 USD IIRC. I would think that Priority Points would be available at this property, but come to think of it, last time I stayed there, mine never posted. Hmmm... I'll have to check on that!

The HI might be a option to include if a matress run is needed - or via points redemption ??? if a room4free is the goal.

2. NRT Airport Washington Hotel - this one runs around $65 US. (I prefer this one to the HI - for no specific reason, but both properties are OK for a '1 nighter.').

Both of these options are bookable at the Hotel Desk - just outside NRT Customs. Don't know about The Washington - but the HI is also bookable online or via 1-800-HOLIDAY. (Personally, I like to have something booked in advance, so that there are no last minute surprises regarding the rate).

I hope this helps a little. Have a great trip! BTW, welcome to FT; we're glad to have you here.

Just a tiny little suggestion for the newbie, tho: in the future, please be a little more specific re info needed in your title line... you may find that specificity results in better responses as opposed to such a generic posting. Thank you!

I once had about 6 hours to kill on a NRT connection and took the train to the village/town of Narita. I found it quite interesting and there were a number of good places to eat. I do not know about the hotel situation, but bet there are some that would be more interesting than the airport hotels.

Thanks for the info. Do you remember how long the train ride was and how much it cost?
