Detailed airport guideConnection between international flights

Due to the difference in security screening criteria between Japan and other countries, passengers who have already been screened in the country of departure will be required to undergo screening again when transiting in Japan except for some cases.

After getting off the airplane, proceed by following the "International Connecting Flights" guide sign. To prevent hijacking and other hazards, baggage inspection and body check are conducted.
