Thinking about flying IAH-NRT-IAH in J Tuesday January 31 coming back February 2 (just want to fly ANA and get out of the house). Will arrive NRT around 1530 on the 1st and leave just before 1700 on the 2nd.

Any recommendations for close hotel and something to do for one night?

Thanks

Highly recommend you head into the city -- it's only an hour by bus / train and there isn't much to do in the Narita area. Not sure what your budget is but the Tokyo Station hotel can be had for around $400 and is super easy to get to from the Narita Express - but there are literally tons of hotels within walking distance of Tokyo Station to fit any budget -- and lots to do in Tokyo the next morning before heading back to the airport.

One thing -- make sure you pre-register at Visit Japan Web to upload your vax documentation, passport, and pre fill out all the customs / immigrations forms...

Thanks for the recommendations. I did fill out all of the forms and have all of the QR codes associated, sans the Quarantine, but they did approve my docs.

Edit: oh, don't want to debate the effectiveness of masks, but am I correct that ANA still requires masking?

It is definitely in the rather tight side, and will all come down to how busy immigration is. If you are on a single ticket, they will just put you on the next flight to Fukuoka, it is a busy route, there are quite a few flights a day.

Will Jal provide a hotel for the night and put me on the first flight the following morning?

Had an almost 16 hours daytime layover at HND (NH850 to NH186) so we decided to spend it at Haneda Airport Garden Spa which was highly recommended by the Japan tourism information counter. Truly amazing and the best airport experience ever - hands down! Perched atop of the Hotel Villa Fontaine Premier on the 12th floor with the hotel lobby directly connected to the airports' arrival hall. Looking out to Mount Fuji as well as HND runways, the facility has an open-air bath, four types of indoor baths, three types of hot stone spa, as well as relaxation rooms, beauty & massage parlor, and a restaurant. We spent around 12 hours there sleeping, bathing, relaxing, dining, and I got a 1-hour foot massage for a total cost for 4 all in ~$281. Awesome experience and highly recommended if you don't want to venture into Tokyo, and the nearby hotels are too expensive for a daytime stay.

Does anyone know of a similar place / spa in Narita?
I will be arriving HND at 5:55am on NH844. I will be departing NRT at 5:00pm on NH6.
I am planning to take Limousine bus to Narita right away. I assume I will be in Narita by 9am.
I might be wrong, but browsing the FT messages I did not see anything similar to Haneda Airport Garden Spa in Narita.
I will have United and ANA Club access. I also have Priority Pass.
My understanding that my best options are to have food in ANA Club and use shower facilities in United Club.
