Japan's courier network reaches this airport, so a case can go to your hotel without you.

What it costs to put a bag down for the day.

This is a smaller airport, so arrange an eSIM before you fly rather than counting on a counter in the arrivals hall.

eSIM: Bought before you leave home and installed over Wi-Fi, so you land connected. Needs a phone that takes an eSIM and is not carrier-locked.
Prepaid SIM: Sold at the arrivals counters and vending machines at the larger airports. You swap your physical SIM — keep the old one safe.
Pocket Wi-Fi: A rented router for several devices at once. Picked up and dropped back at the airport counter, or posted back.
Free Wi-Fi: Available in the terminal. It stops when you leave the building.

The same order at every international airport in Japan.

Quarantine — a health check as you come off the aircraft.
Immigration — fingerprints and a facial photograph, for everyone aged 16 and over, then the landing permission seal in your passport.
