A bit old data but just for reference, how expensive Japanese airports are.

From a July 1999 report of the Foreign Airlines Association in Japan (NW, the biggest foreign carrier in Japan, is part of is but UA, the second largest, is not.)

Landing charges of B747-400 (Max TOW=395T)

1USD=120JPY is used for currency conversion (now its' around 125JPY)

In USD
NRT (Narita, Tokyo): 7,900
KIX (Kansai, Osaka): 7,571
NHD (Haneda, Tokyo): 7,900

LHR: 559
LAX: 1,096
HKG: 3,916
SIN: 2,459
BKK: 1,417
FRA: 1,575

If baggage facility and other charges are included, KIX is the most expensive with 8,738, followed by NRT with 8,367.

F U K (F u k u o k a, Japan) and NGO (Nagoya, Japan) come after NRT, KIX and HND and outrank other key airports voerseas.
