Flights to Japan

Low cost Japan flights often land at five major airports: Narita (NRT), Kansai (KIX), Chubu (NGO), New Chitose (CTS), and Fukuoka (FUK). Most international flights to Japan arrive at Narita, home of many major airline hubs. Osakaís Kansai also hubs Peach, specializing in cheap flights. Kansai's award-winning offshore design was tested by the Kobe earthquake and a 120 mph typhoon with no damage. Chubu, in Nagoya, is another award-winning offshore airport based on Kansai technology. New Chitose, in Sapporo, reduces their number of flights from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. due to noise control policies. Fukuoka, in the city of the same name, has a zero-flight noise control policy during the same hours. Numerous fighters flew from Fukuoka during the Korean War to support the evacuation of American civilians and ground troops in battle.
