With Tokyo home to two of the world's best airports for food, it’s no surprise that the capital’s international gateways also consistently rank among the best globally. In the 2025 World Airport Survey conducted by Skytrax, the Haneda and Narita international airports were once again ranked among the top ten in the world, solidifying Tokyo’s status as a world-class travel hub.

Meanwhile, Narita International Airport in Chiba prefecture took fifth place, narrowly trailing Seoul Incheon (No 4).
