Lounge Review: JAL Sakura Lounge Tokyo Narita

The JAL Sakura Lounge Tokyo Narita is the biggest lounge by Japan Airlines in the world. The lounge, which is right next to the JAL First Class Lounge, is located in the main terminal of Tokyo Narita Airport and can be accessed directly after security. The lounge is extremely spacious and comes with a modern and very inviting design.

The JAL Sakura Lounge Tokyo Narita comes with a small buffet and some seating straight forward from the entrance. In this area, you can also find a sleeping area with some beds as well as the business center of the JAL Sakura Lounge.

Especially the latter is extremely spacious. Other than that, this area comes with tables and armchairs with a nice view of the tarmac and thus lots of daylight.

There are plenty of very good lounges at Tokyo Narita Airport

This one comes with dozens of armchairs as well as several very inviting looking couches. While the view is a little worse here (solely due to the size), the area still looked reasonably inviting.

There are also stairs to the dining area in this part. The dining area consists of different types of chairs and tables, some with stunning views of the tarmac.

The view of the tarmac is truly stunning

Pretty much all seating areas throughout the JAL Sakura Lounge Tokyo Narita come with plugs, something I find especially important in lounges.
