Narita airport terminal transfer?

Question:

I want to know if it is possible to change terminals directly after disembarking from a qantas international flight arriving in Narita airport? The map kind of looks like there is an immigration desk that can be used to then continue to the internal shuttle thats goes back and forth? Or is it only possible to get to the other terminal by going outside and getting on the bus?

Hopefully that makes sense to someone and they can answer it?

Cheers

Answer:

Why do you need to transfer terminals? Are you making an international - international flight transfer? Make sure your bags are checked all the way through to your final destination.

If you are making an international to international transfer at Narita Airport this is what you do:

1. After you disembark your airplane you need to go to the INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS/ TRANSIT area, this area you must go through a airport security check (metal detector etc) again. Show your transfer ticket/trip itinerary etc. If you have luggage checked through you do not pick it up in Japan, but your final destination country, but it depends on what airlines etc.

Note that you will only be allowed through the transit area if you have a connecting flight at Narita, if your final destination of Japan is Narita or you want to see a friend in the other terminal before leaving the airport, that is not possible.

Do not follow the lines to enter Japan, this will require you to go through Immigration & Customs. Unless you are in one of those weird situations where you need to enter Japan get your luggage,

2. After you clear security at the transfer area, you will be in one of the terminals, if you need to get to another terminal ask the information desk and they will point you to one of the connecting bus gates that connects terminal 1 and terminal 2 together. These bus gates are inside the terminal areas for passengers who already cleared security.
