Narita International Airport is a near sea-level field at 141 ft (43 m), positioned at 35.7686° N, 140.3887° E in the Northern mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 2 runways and a longest runway of 13,123 ft / 4,000 m. The airport clock uses Asia/Tokyo (JST, UTC+09:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
Ryōgoku is the closest retained city-time anchor at 6.1 km. HND Tokyo is the closest retained airport alternative at 60 km.
NRT is compared with HND Tokyo at 60 km, KIJ Niigata at 268 km, SDJ Natori at 268 km, NGO Tokoname at 341 km, ITM Osaka at 462 km inside the retained Japan airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.
NRT-HND Tokyo: 60 km, about 55m, +0h. NRT-SDJ Natori: 268 km, about 1h 10m, +0h. NRT-KIJ Niigata: 268 km, about 1h 10m, +0h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.

OurAirports classifies NRT as a large airport with scheduled service; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Narita.
NRT (RJAA) is a near sea-level field at 141 ft (43 m) in the mid-latitudes, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
NRT also has a clear airline-network role: the source summary describes it as major tokyo international gateway with japanese network and low-cost carrier hub operations..
NRT's runway record lists 2 runways, with the longest runway at 13,123 ft / 4,000 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt (2).
Narita International Airport Corporation is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for NRT.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at narita-airport.jp, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
NRT uses Asia/Tokyo (JST, UTC+09:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Narita International Airport is about 64 km from central Narita; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
HND Tokyo is the closest retained alternate at 60 km, time difference +0h.
narita-airport.jp is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
These comparisons place NRT inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
NRT ranks #14 in the curated Japan airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 18 airports.
NRT shares Asia/Tokyo with CTS Sapporo JP · FUK Fukuoka JP · HIJ Hiroshima JP · HND Tokyo JP · HSG Saga JP · ITM Osaka JP. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
NRT is 141 ft (43 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include ALC 142 ft (43 m) (1 ft delta) · FLR 142 ft (43 m) (1 ft delta) · NYO 140 ft (43 m) (1 ft delta) · ARN 137 ft (42 m) (4 ft delta) · MPM 145 ft (44 m) (4 ft delta).

Because the airport sits well outside central Narita, surface transfer planning matters almost as much as flight timing, especially for late arrivals and early departures.
Tokyo is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Narita International Airport has 3 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from NRT, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
