Narita International Airport Terminal 3 Map (Most Up-To-Date)
Narita Terminal 3 is a compact, linear LCC terminal built like a straight-through processing hall, with most passenger flow running along a color-coded “track” on the 2F departures level. It sits apart from the rest of Tokyo’s main Narita hub, with the long T2↔T3 access corridor acting as the main spine for rail and terminal connectivity. Landside amenities cluster centrally; airside space stretches outward to the satellite gates.
Map Table
| Zone | Connection | Walk Time |
|---|---|---|
| 2F Check-in Hall | Food Court, LAWSON, Security | short, straight-line |
| 2F Access Corridor Entry | Terminal 2, T2·3 Station route | ~13–15 min total to station |
| 1F Ground Transport Curb | Shuttle bus to Terminal 2 | variable, wait-dependent |
| Airside Satellite Gates 161–175 | Bridge from main airside | +6–10 min from security |
Narita International Airport Terminal 3 Map Strategy
- Treat Terminal 3 as disconnected from Terminal 2 and the station: commit early to either the 2F access corridor (deterministic) or the 1F shuttle curb (wait risk), and don’t mix them mid-route.
- Use the track system as a timing tool, not just wayfinding: the “straight shot” to security is short, but the gate walk (especially 161–175) is where time disappears.
- Hold landside for comfort: eat, charge, and stock up at the 2F food court/LAWSON before security to avoid getting stuck airside with minimal options.
- Neutralize LCC baggage friction immediately: go straight to the public scales and repack tables near B Post before you ever join a check-in line.

Terminal 3 continues to operate as Narita’s dedicated low-cost carrier terminal, with the same high-penalty layout: long connectivity to Terminal 2 rail access, and a sharp amenities drop after security. The map is most useful for locking in the correct corridor entry point, finding the right curbside bus stop if you must ride, and avoiding the airside “amenity desert” before the long walk to the 170-series gates.

What is the exact walking distance (meters) from Terminal 3 Departures (check-in area) to the Terminal 3 security checkpoint entrance?
Walking distance is approximately 150 meters from the Terminal 3 check-in area to the security checkpoint entrance.
The route is a straight, low-ambiguity segment on 2F: from the check-in counter islands, follow the blue track directly toward the security queue and X-ray lanes. The longest practical start point is the far end of the check-in counter line (Jetstar-side counter islands), and the security entrance sits at the terminus of the blue track, just beyond the last landside retail/food-court edge.
Where is the Terminal 3 entrance to the T2↔T3 access corridor (exact door/level reference from the T3 main hall)?
The access-corridor entrance is on the 2nd Floor (Departures level) of Terminal 3, opening off the main hall beside the Food Court area.
From the 2F check-in hall, stay on the same level and follow the prominent “Terminal 2” direction signage toward the exterior connector; the corridor begins as you pass through the 2F exit doors that lead out of the terminal into the semi-open walkway. The key landmark is the Food Court frontage on 2F—the corridor doors sit adjacent to that central amenity hub rather than down on the 1F curb.
Where is the Terminal 3 landside shuttle bus stop to Terminal 2 (exact curb/door/level)?
The landside shuttle to Terminal 2 boards at Terminal 3, 1st Floor curbside, at Bus Stop No. 2 for the direct T3↔T2 loop (with Bus Stop No. 3 also serving a loop that typically stops at T2).
The shuttle stops are not on the 2F departures hall. From the 2F check-in/food court level, go down to 1F (Arrivals / Ground Transportation) and follow curbside bus-stop signage to the numbered stops. The critical wayfinding anchor is the 1F ground transport curb directly below the main terminal hall, where the Stop No. 2 marker identifies the Terminal 2 transfer.
Where is the Terminal 3 airside inter-terminal shuttle boarding point (exact location after security, if shown on terminal maps)?
No fixed, map-stable boarding point is shown for an airside inter-terminal shuttle; boarding is treated as a controlled operation tied to the airside bus-gate infrastructure (150/160 series bus-gate zone) rather than a regular public stop.
After security, the only consistent “bus” topology in Terminal 3 is the bus gate area used for remote stands (the 150A–E / 160A–D cluster), which requires descending to the tarmac-level waiting rooms from the main airside concourse. When an airside transfer is permitted, it is routed via the same controlled bus-gate mechanism, so the reliable landmark is the airside bus-gate waiting rooms—not a curbside stop and not the 2F landside corridor.
Where is the nearest post-security food option location in Terminal 3 (exact map label / nearest gate zone)?
The nearest post-security food option is Caffé LAT.25° on the International airside concourse (3F) in the main concourse near the Duty Free cluster.
International departures in Terminal 3 route upward into the 3F airside retail spine where Fa-So-La Duty Free dominates; Caffé LAT.25° sits in that same main-flow zone rather than out by the satellite gates. For Domestic airside, the closest equivalent is the Jetstar Shop kiosk / vending area near the main building–to-bridge junction (around the Gate 161–162 entry area), but there is no food-court-style option once you’re through security.
Where are the closest vending/“grab-and-go” points after security in Terminal 3 (exact positions on the airside map)?
The closest grab-and-go points after security are the vending machine clusters near the main-building junction to the satellite bridge, closest to the Gate 161/162 area.
On the Domestic side, the airside layout behaves like a corridor: the most repeatable resupply nodes are the vending machines placed where passengers funnel toward the bridge, and again just after the first gate zone in the satellite entry area (around Gates 161–162). On the International side, small snack purchases concentrate in the Fa-So-La retail zone on 3F (including snack shelves inside souvenir/duty-free footprints), with additional vending machines positioned near gate waiting areas rather than in a dedicated airside convenience store.
Where are the public baggage scales located in Terminal 3 (exact placement relative to check-in counters/security flow)?
Public baggage scales are located landside on 2F in the check-in hall at “B Post” (Pillar B), directly in front of the check-in counter islands on the main flow toward security.
The scales sit in the pre-queue space along the departures hall circulation, so you can weigh bags before committing to a counter line. The closest landmark is B Post itself: the repack/scales zone is adjacent to that pillar and positioned to intercept passengers coming from the 2F corridor/food court side before they drift into the check-in queues and then onward along the blue-track route to the security entrance.
Where is the best “repack space” zone in Terminal 3 (tables/seating area closest to scales/check-in), as indicated on maps?
The best repack space is the dedicated repack tables next to the public scales at “B Post” on 2F in the check-in hall.
This repack zone is purpose-built for LCC baggage enforcement: waist-height packing tables are placed immediately adjacent to the B Post floor scales, so you can weigh, open, shift items, and re-weigh without crossing the check-in flow. The nearest functional anchors are the check-in counter islands (in front of you) and the blue-track line toward security (downstream); using the 2F food court seating as a repack fallback works only if B Post is crowded, because it adds backtracking and spreads luggage into a high-traffic area.
What is the exact walking distance (meters) from Terminal 3 to Narita Airport Terminal 2·3 Station via the signed pedestrian route?
Walking distance is approximately 700–750 meters from Terminal 3 to Terminal 2·3 Station via the signed pedestrian access corridor.
The signed route runs from Terminal 3 (2F main building entry/exit to the corridor) through the semi-open access corridor and then into Terminal 2, continuing inward to reach the station levels. The corridor itself accounts for the majority of the distance (roughly 500–600 m), with the remainder split between interior approaches at each end (Terminal 3 2F to the corridor doors, and Terminal 2 entry to the station access). Average walking time is 13–15 minutes, longer with heavy baggage.
Which Terminal 3 exit/door is closest to the pedestrian route toward Terminal 2 (minimizing backtracking from arrivals)?
The closest exit to the pedestrian route toward Terminal 2 is the 2F main exit doors that open directly into the T2↔T3 access corridor.
Terminal 3 arrivals flow is on 1F, but the access corridor does not start from the curb level. To minimize backtracking, route yourself from the 1F arrivals side to the nearest escalator/elevator up to 2F, then aim for the corridor doors beside the 2F Food Court zone where “Terminal 2” signage points outdoors. Any attempt to hunt for a ground-level shortcut forces extra detours because the pedestrian connector is an elevated 2F entry/exit, not a 1F walkway.
Where is the shortest on-foot route from Terminal 3 Arrivals (baggage claim exit) to the Terminal 2 pickup/shuttle transfer point?
The shortest on-foot route is Terminal 3 Arrivals (1F) → up to 2F → enter the access corridor → exit at Terminal 2 North Exit 2 (1F) → Terminal 2 arrivals/pickup curb.
From the baggage-claim exit in Terminal 3, the critical move is going upward immediately, because the pedestrian connector originates on 2F, not at the 1F curb. Once on 2F, follow “Terminal 2” signage to the corridor doors near the Food Court frontage, then stay on the signed track to Terminal 2. At the Terminal 2 end, the corridor deposits you by North Exit 2, which is the key landmark for dropping into the correct arrivals/pickup side without wandering deeper into Terminal 2 first.
Where are the largest seating clusters in Terminal 3 (landside), based on the terminal layout?
The largest landside seating cluster is the Terminal 3 Food Court on 2F, with the terminal’s highest-density table-and-chair footprint.
This seating mass sits on the main 2F departures level directly in the central circulation path, before the security boundary. It functions as the terminal’s primary dwell zone and charging hub, so it is both the biggest seating area and the most strategically placed one—adjacent to the main hall flow between check-in counters and the security entrance. By contrast, 1F arrivals has only limited bench seating and does not form a comparable seating “cluster” in the layout.
Where are the restrooms closest to the Terminal 3 security entrance?
The closest restrooms are on 2F landside, positioned between the Food Court zone and the security entrance area along the main departures hall flow.
On the 2F layout, the security entrance sits at the end of the blue-track route; the nearest practical restroom node is the high-capacity landside restroom block placed in the same central spine, so you can use it immediately before joining the security queue. The most reliable landmark triangulation is the Food Court frontage: the restrooms are in that final landside stretch you pass through after the food court and before the security lanes, not out on 1F and not deep in the check-in counter islands.
What is the maximum walking distance (meters) from Terminal 3 security to the farthest departing gate area shown on the Terminal 3 airside map?
Maximum walking distance is approximately 550–650 meters from Terminal 3 security to the farthest gate area, Gate 175 in the satellite pier.
From the security exit, the longest walk runs straight through the main airside corridor to the bridge connection, then continues across the bridge into the 161–175 satellite, ending at the far tip by Gate 175. The key navigation trap is the “false finish” at the start of the satellite (around Gate 161): the pier continues much farther than it looks, and there are no moving walkways to compress the time penalty.
