Tokyo Narita Village - Prologue

Went to this quaint village three times this year. The pictures posted are an amalgamation of the three seasons during which I was there: Winter, Spring and Summer. Didn't go during Autumn. Narita Village, to quote WikiAir, is 'the host city of Narita International Airport'. It is akin to Subang Village as to Subang Airport.




While the map of Greater Narita above may not be entirely legible, suffice to say that the area covered by Narita International Airport is represented in orange. The history of the airport is an interesting read, for its conception and eventual construction attracted much resistance.


Today, with further expansion of the airport all but cancelled, the peaceful village serves as a transit point for international air travellers in and out of Tokyo. It may not have the glitter of Shibuya nor sounds of Harajuku in downtown Tokyo, but it is subtly charming in its simplicity.


Stay tuned. Chottomatte kudasai.

the last pic tu, gambar orang mancing ke?

Da Winged Acrophobic said...

dnas..... I had the same impression about the pic. It's just an elderly couple looking over a fence which everlooks a pond. Yang nampak macam fishing rod tu actually dangling brances from a tree. Kalau tengok betul-betul, they are behind the couple. Optical illusion.

After I originally commented I appear to have clicked the -Notify me
when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on every time a comment is added I receive 4 emails with the same comment.
Is there an easy method you can remove me from that service?

Thanks!

Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to everything. Do you have any tips for novice blog writers? I'd definitely
appreciate it.
