NODOKA at Narita Airport, Japan

 

My first trip to Tokyo in 26 years started with not understanding how to download the declaration forms at the immigration exit. I had to speak with four staff people before I was able to complete that task. It was slightly embarrassing and frustrating for a jet lagged tourist. All throughout the process at Narita International Airport,  i kept thinking how long I've made my friend Yayoi wait at the exist.

Yayoi has worked for an airline company for over 30+ years. Though she is now working out of Ginza, she was very kind to meet me at the exit. Narita is far away from Tokyo, an hour on the airport shuttle.

Suffice to say, she has not changed at all. How could she look so young? The woman is magical.

There's a new coffee place she wanted to try so there we went and WOW, what an amazing hybrid spot.

The coffee was pre-brewed and good enough but nothing over the top. What's over the top is this facility. They have resting areas, work stations, a shower and this small indoor camping area. I think it's like a hotel capsule but in the form of a tent or maybe you can just rest.

While we were talking i think we woke someone up which i felt bad about so we lowered our voices.
