No.3: Get yourself refreshed! With shower, nap, massage…
Perhaps there are many who have long flight after the long hours wait… Here, we, FUN! JAPAN Team would like to introduce some spots for refresh before long flight!
All our members have different requirements when we have long hours at the airport.
For example, the opinions from FUN! JAPAN Team was like :
Indonesian staff → “Cleaning the body is more important than people. Reasonable shower room is very useful!”
Malaysian staff → “A capsule hotel for a nap. Even if it is just 1~2 hours nap, it reduces the fatigue! “
Thai staff → “Massage. Japanese massage is polite and looks like an esthetic salon!”

Extra No.1: Play capsule toy vending machine with your leftover small change
Capsule toy vending machine is also a symbol of Japan’s modern cultures. As it is very popular among the visitors to Japan, lines of vending machines can be found at the airport! At first, it is about using up the small change one have, but…there is a coin exchange machine nearby! And, it seems like many purposely change their notes to coins to just play... Let’s try and see what you can get.
FUN! JAPAN Team ended up “went crazy” in this corner. There are just too many to choose from and for some, it can be a “trouble”.
