Airports in Japan, written in Japanese
7 airports across 7 prefectures, each with the kanji, the kana reading and a card you can print or save to your phone before you travel.
Airports have separate domestic and international terminals, sometimes several kilometres apart, and the fare differs. Write your terminal number in the note field — drivers will ask, and it is the one detail a place name cannot carry.

Frequently asked questions
How do I ask a taxi for a Japanese airport?
Airports have separate domestic and international terminals, sometimes several kilometres apart, and the fare differs. Write your terminal number in the note field — drivers will ask, and it is the one detail a place name cannot carry.
Do these names work outside a taxi?
Yes. The same card works at a station information desk, a hotel front desk or a police box (交番). The Japanese characters are the part that communicates; the English and romaji on the card are only there so you know what you are showing.
