NRT: The Jet Lag Club

Hello folks from Narita, Japan

I'd like to tell you about one of the best layover bars Narita has to offer - the Jet Lag Club!

Its located on
508 Kamicho, Narita
Tel: 080-5504-0340

The owner of the JLC, Vincent, was a flight attendant in his previous life, and after settling in Narita, opened up the JLC. What better theme than one that he is personally familiar with - International Air Travel.

I used Photoshop to mark up a map for you. It ought to get you close. The walking distance was a half mile.

The bus from the Hilton drops you off near the Narita local train station. You go up the stairs to the walkway and walk through the train station. After a few up escalators, it'll dump you out at street level. Bear right and go over the pedestrian overpass, and then when the road comes to a "T", go right onto "Green Streen." It's not the real name of the street, but everyone calls it that because it has green painted sidewalks. Wander on the Green Street until you come to the Jet Lag Club on the left.

Inside you'll be treated to a vast array of interesting airline memorabilia and artifacts. Order a pint of your favorite beer and let your eyes wander around. You'll find yourself spending a lot of time just checking out the photos and posters surrounding you.

Happy hour is from 4 to 8 and The Jet Lag Club has the best prices in town. A popcorn machine will help you forget that you're hungry (and that it's really 6am back home...)

Vincent has been constantly upgrading the pub, and it now sports a dance floor complete with techno lights and such. The DJ spins his magic on Friday and Saturday nights. On the other nights, enjoy a trip back in time to music videos of the 70's, 80's and 90's.

The Jet Lag Club does not serve food, but has made arrangements with Pa Pa's restaurant to have their food delivered. I'll be blogging about Pa Pa's soon. Just ask the bartender for a menu.

Vincent is proud to have made the Jet Lag Club the first non-smoking bar in Japan. As a non-smoker, I can appreciate that. Just step into one of the other smoking bars for a few minutes and the clear air of the JLC will be missed.

Enjoy your visit to Narita and take a minute to soak up the Jet Lag Club! You'll have a great time!

Just a few of the items in Vincent's vast collection:

Lots of stuff for sale at the JLC. This is a neat bottle opener that you put over the top of the bottle and push down. Magically, the bottle top pops off! A great unique party item!

More beers! (Notice the shapely stein...)
