Narita International Airport, Narita-shi, Chiba-ken
Located in Terminal 1, Central Bldg, 5th Floor. This self-service restaurant specializes in thick udon noodles. Every day we mix flour with salted water and knead it into noodle dough. We then cut the noodles from the dough and boil them ready for you to eat! Inside the restaurant you can look right through into the open kitchen and see the chef preparing the noodles. You can enjoy the delicious flavor of freshly prepared noodles in Kineya Mugimaru's authentic atmosphere. Hand-made udon noodles, tempura, onigiri rice balls... these are all Mugimaru's pride and joy.

Looking back at my 2019 field trip photos, Narita International Airport was the beginning and the end of one of the most important chapters of my life. Seven years later, I still remember the distinct arrival rush we felt on 2019. Stepping into the terminal for the first time, we were immediately met with that world-class Japanese efficiency. The logistics—from the organized baggage claim to the clear signage—were a masterclass. It was our first real welcome to Japan moment, and even the simple act of seeing the massive departure boards. The experience came full circle on our departure day. Heading back to the airport was bittersweet. I remember the high ceilings of the departure lobby and the busy but orderly check-in counters. We had some extra time, so we spent it wandering the shops for last-minute snacks and souvenirs. It was a moment of reflection for our group—realizing that we were leaving not just with souvenirs, but with the joy of visiting Japan. Narita wasn't just a transit point; it was the gateway to a major lifetime experience. Seven years later, these recovered photos remind me of how much we grew. It’s one of the best places to experience the atmosphere of Japan one last time before heading home.
