Narita International Airport (NRT) will reopen the fifth floor of Terminal 1’s Central Building on April 9, 2026, as the renovated “SHIKISAI GARDEN -Seasonal colours-.” The space, closed since April 2025 for refurbishment, spans the fifth floor and parts of the fourth, redesigned to evoke Japan’s natural environment through water elements and seasonal motifs that shape its culture.
This upgrade aligns with Narita Airport’s strategy to improve passenger experience via relaxation zones. A central atrium features the “Ring of Sky” bamboo installation by Tanabe Chikuunsai IV, blending traditional Japanese aesthetics. Dedicated areas mimic tea rooms, living spaces, and calligraphy rooms, offering varied seating for quiet unwinding.
The “in sync” digital art zone displays immersive visuals of bamboo forests, using light and motion for tranquility. A seasonal food court incorporates year-round thematic interiors. Family amenities expand with a children’s play area by Froebel-kan Co., Ltd.
The “GARDEN WALK” observation deck overlooks aircraft operations amid greenery, water features, and footbaths, enhancing the airport visit. Narita Airport states the project boosts comfort, convenience, and value for passengers.
