Tokyo Narita Lounges (NRT): Every Lounge and How to Get In

Narita runs nineteen lounge doors across Terminals 1 and 2, and none at all in Terminal 3. Five open with Priority Pass, one sells entry to anyone, and the rest belong to the airlines. Here is the full map.

Lounge verdict
Strong, for an airport that lost two American lounges to Haneda. The ANA and JAL flagships are world class, and both big terminals keep an airside Priority Pass door so nobody is locked out.
Best access play
Priority Pass opens five doors: the IASS Superior Lounge NOA airside in Terminal 1, KoCoo airside in Terminal 2, the Aspire Lounge in the T2 satellite, and the two landside Executive Lounges, plus a capsule stay at the nine hours hotel connected to Terminal 2.
The one thing to know
Terminals 1, 2 and 3 are fully separate buildings with no airside connection. The only lounges that exist for you are the ones in your departure terminal, so check your terminal before you plan anything.

How the Narita lounge map works

Terminal 1 is Star Alliance and SkyTeam territory: ANA checks in at the South Wing, Korean Air and its SkyTeam partners at the North Wing, and airside everything funnels through the Central Building out to numbered satellites. Terminal 2 belongs to JAL and oneworld, with a main building and a single satellite reached by a connecting walkway. Terminal 3 handles the low cost carriers and has no lounges at all, a point the airport itself makes on its own lounge pages.

Hours below were checked on 27 May 2026. Most doors close between 20:30 and 22:00 because Narita operates under an overnight curfew, so there is no 24 hour lounge here and no point hunting for one. The Haneda shift thinned the field: Delta and American Airlines both closed their Narita lounges permanently in March 2020 when they moved Tokyo flying to Haneda, and several guides online still list doors that no longer exist. Everything in the tables below was verified against the airport and operator pages as of the date above.

ANA Arrival LoungeSouth Wing, 1F, before security14:00 to 17:55Eligible ANA international arrivals and domestic departures under ANA termsNarrow window, narrow audience; a shower stop if you qualify

The ANA complex in Satellite 5 is the reason to route a Star Alliance itinerary through Narita: two doors that stay open until the final ANA departure when everything else has gone dark. Without status, the prize is NOA on the third floor of the Central Building, and its card quirk catches people out. The desk takes the Priority Pass QR code from the app, not the physical Amex card itself, so load the app before you queue. The landside Executive Lounge 1 is strictly a holding pen for the hour before you clear security.

IASS Executive Lounge 2Main Building, 4F, before security07:00 to 21:00Priority Pass, DragonPass, eligible Japanese issued credit cardsLandside with 138 seats and one drink; a waiting room more than a lounge

Terminal 2 is JAL country, and the Sakura and First Class lounges carry the oneworld load alone while Cathay renovates. For everyone else, the real decision is KoCoo versus Aspire. KoCoo sits minutes from the main building gates but enforces a two hour cap and fills by early afternoon. Aspire, out in the satellite in the old Qantas lounge footprint, takes the same cards, sells walk up entry to any passenger, and adds showers and relaxation pods. If your gate is in the C numbers or your layover runs long, Aspire wins.

Terminal 3

Terminal 3: no lounges, by design

Terminal 3 is Narita's low cost terminal and it contains zero lounges, airside or landside. The airport's own lounge pages confirm this and point travelers to Terminal 2 facilities instead, which sits about a 15 minute walk away along a marked path.

The realistic plays for a T3 departure are all landside: the IASS Executive Lounge 2 on the fourth floor of the Terminal 2 main building before security, or a capsule at the nine hours hotel in the parking building connected to Terminal 2, which takes Priority Pass walk ins for stays of up to 5 hours between 09:00 and 18:00, subject to space. Budget the walk back and the T3 security queue into whatever you choose. Once you are through security in Terminal 3, your options are a food court and a bench.

What actually opens these doors

Priority Pass is the widest key at Narita: the Superior Lounge NOA airside in Terminal 1, KoCoo airside in Terminal 2, the Aspire Lounge in the Terminal 2 satellite, and the landside Executive Lounges 1 and 2. The same membership also buys a capsule stay at the nine hours hotel connected to Terminal 2, and Priority Pass has been adding restaurant options in Terminal 1, so check the app for current listings before you fly.

DragonPass mirrors most of that list, covering the four IASS lounges and the Aspire Lounge.

Credit cards matter more here than at most airports. The landside Executive Lounges accept a long roster of Japanese issued gold and platinum cards, while NOA and KoCoo take Diners Club and select platinum tiers. The trap for overseas travelers: NOA and KoCoo do not accept a physical Amex card at the desk, so pull up the Priority Pass QR code in the app instead.

Paying at the door works at exactly one lounge. The Aspire Lounge in the Terminal 2 satellite sells entry to all passengers regardless of airline or cabin, and bookings can be made ahead on the operator's site. Terminal 1 has no equivalent walk up paid lounge on current listings.

Class of travel and status covers the airline doors: ANA and Star Alliance in Terminal 1, JAL and oneworld in Terminal 2, with Korean Air, Turkish Airlines, China Airlines and Emirates running their own rooms for their own passengers. Eligible oneworld premium travelers in Terminal 2 use the JAL lounges now that the Admirals Club is gone and Cathay's door is shut for renovation.

Program rules shift and lounges move. Treat the tables above as the map, and confirm the door you are counting on the day you fly. For the Priority Pass strategy in detail, see the NRT Priority Pass guide.

FAQ

Narita lounge questions

Which Narita lounges take Priority Pass?

Five: the IASS Superior Lounge NOA airside in Terminal 1, the IASS Superior Lounge KoCoo airside in Terminal 2, the landside IASS Executive Lounges 1 and 2, and the Aspire Lounge in the Terminal 2 satellite. Priority Pass also covers a capsule stay of up to 5 hours at the nine hours hotel connected to Terminal 2.

Are there any lounges in Narita Terminal 3?

No. Terminal 3 is the low cost terminal and has no lounges at all, and the airport directs travelers to Terminal 2 facilities instead. The landside Executive Lounge 2 and the nine hours capsules by Terminal 2 are the realistic options before you walk back and clear Terminal 3 security.

Is there a Delta Sky Club or Admirals Club at Narita?

Not anymore. Both closed permanently in March 2020 when Delta and American Airlines moved their Tokyo flying to Haneda. Eligible oneworld premium passengers and elites departing Terminal 2 use the JAL Sakura and First Class lounges instead.

What is the best lounge at Narita Airport?

With a premium ticket or status, the ANA Suite Lounge in Terminal 1 and the JAL First Class Lounge in Terminal 2 are the top tier. On Priority Pass, the IASS Superior Lounge NOA in Terminal 1 is the strongest door, with 130 seats, hot food and a proper bar airside.

Can I pay to enter a lounge at Narita without flying business class?

Yes, at one door. The Aspire Lounge in the Terminal 2 satellite sells entry to all passengers regardless of airline or cabin, bookable ahead on the operator's site. Terminal 1 has no comparable walk up paid lounge on current listings, so there you need a lounge program or an airline key.

Do Narita lounges close at night?

Yes, effectively all of them. Most doors close between 20:30 and 22:00, with the ANA lounges in Satellite 5 running until the last ANA departure. Narita operates under an overnight flight curfew, so there is no 24 hour lounge anywhere at the airport.
