Narita Airport offers "uniquely Japanese" experiential events to welcome international visitors, aiming to inspire them to "want to visit again" by allowing them to experience Japanese culture.
In April, we will hold an event centered on "mini lanterns," traditional lanterns made into palm-sized versions, where participants can enjoy painting and assembling them. Additionally, in conjunction with "Children's Day" on May 5th, we will also host a Koinobori (carp streamer) painting experience event. Please take this opportunity to stop by.
