Narita Airport Hostel — Hotel in Shibayama

Narita Airport Hostel is located in nice rural surroundings, even it is only 12 min car-drive from the airport entrance. The building itself is somewhat modest. But it is clean and they have wonderful futon beds and bedding. They also have a unique pick-up and delivery-service from/to the airport, I recommend to make an agreement by e-mail before you arrive. Only a small breakfast is served at the Hostel. I suggest to bring with you food from one of the nice grocery-stores on the route from the airport.

You must order the pick-up in advance. Or you can take the bus. The stop is 2 minutes from the hostel. The area surrounding the hostel is good for walking, or you can (for free) borrow a bicykle.
