Where it sits
35.8°N, 140.4°E puts NRT in the northern hemisphere, 3,977 km from the equator and 6,030 km from the North pole.
Of the 661 airports on this site it is the 237th most northerly, which makes it the 425th most southerly.
Straight through the middle
Straight down through the centre of the Earth comes out at 35.8°S, 39.6°W. The nearest airport on this site to that point is Hercílio Luz (FLN) in Brazil, still 1,234 km away — most of the planet's antipodes are ocean.
What’s near it
The closest other airport on this site is Tokyo Haneda (HND), 60 km away in a straight line. It is the only one within 100 km.
Where these facts come from
The profile is looked up, not written from memory: type, runways, elevation and the official website from OurAirports (public domain); opening year, namesake, operator and passenger count from Wikidata (CC0); the city centre from GeoNames (CC BY 4.0). Where a source has nothing, the line is left out. Distances, neighbours and the antipode are computed from the coordinates.
What you won’t find: terminal maps, airline lists, shops or live departures. Orbit is a logbook, not a flight tracker, and a page that guessed at those would be worse than one that leaves them out.
