ANA Arrival Lounge

For the traveler though, this dual purpose means that the lounge doesn’t reach its potential in either category. As a departure lounge, it is somewhat inconvenient due its location outside security. As an arrival lounge, it is quite crowded and food options are extremely limited.
ANA Arrival Lounge NRT design
ANA Arrival Lounge – Tokyo Narita (NRT)
Physically, the lounge is essentially a large rectangular space divided into two areas. In the front is the buffet area with dining tables. The modern design with clean lines is enhanced by indoor vegetation. In the back is an open seating area with a far less inspired design: the layout offers little privacy (save for a few curtains which carve out more secluded spots); the chairs are mildly comfortable, and power outlets are lacking.
The lounge is comfortably lit but lacks windows and therefore natural light. That’s fine for an arrivals lounge where patrons aren’t expected to stay long, but unfortunate for a departure lounge.
ANA Arrival Lounge NRT amenities
The ANA Arrival Lounge offers clean and well-maintained shower suites. Towels, amenities and bath products are provided.

Unfortunately, the food selection disappoints. While we like to think of arrival lounges as an opportunity to skip breakfast on the plane in order to maximize sleep time, the ANA Arrival Lounge doesn’t offer much in terms of breakfast: the buffet mostly offers a small selection of shrink wrapped sandwiches, along with a few pickled veggies and pastries. Other basic snacks are available throughout the day.
There is also a business center with a fax/copier.
ANA Arrival Lounge NRT bottom line
The ANA Arrival Lounge at Tokyo Narita Airport is a convenient place to shower and check on email after an international flight – the location is ideally located immediately outside immigration and right above the train station, and in typical Japanese fashion, the staff is efficient and courteous. Also, since the lounge doubles as a departure lounge, it is open all day unlike typical arrivals lounges. If you don’t need to shower, though, it is probably not worth a visit.
As a departure lounge for domestic flights, the ANA Arrival Lounge delivers on the basics – and the showers are a treat – but it is a far cry from ANA’s international lounges.
- The convenient location outside immigration.
- The shower suites.
- The extended opening times.
- The lack of real breakfast options and extremely limited food options.
- The lack of natural lights.
- The crowds.
This lounge operates both as an arrival facility for international flights and as a departure facility for domestic flights, and welcomes ANA customers exclusively. Passengers arriving or departing on other Star Alliance airlines do not have access.

Overall ratings
Exactly as described – great and clean showers, ridiculous food selection.
Not a bad lounge, but busy and food options are basic.
