We often see strange things at airports. Time can either seem as though it's slowed down dramatically or sped up way too much, and no one really seems to know what they're doing as they run to a gate.

Alternatively, it's not unusual to witness people sleeping on lounge chairs, brushing their teeth in the bathroom, or eating several meals of the day in any number of restaurants. While these things are strange in most airports, they're simply the norm at the Narita Airport in Tokyo, Japan.

As opposed to most airports that aren't designed for comfort and long stays, Narita Airport is. Anything from sophisticated toilets to gaming lounges are fair game here, and travelers might even find an unexpected surprise or two.

Having a long layover in this hotel is more like a vacation extension than just a passing destination, and we're totally here for it. Sign us up!
