Tokyo is often recognised for having some of the world’s cleanest airports, but its two major international hubs also earn high praise for their exceptional dining options. In a recent study conducted by SEO for Restaurants, the digital marketing agency analysed data from airport websites and Google Maps to compare the prices, variety and quality of food and dining options at airports around the world.

Both Tokyo’s Haneda Airport and Narita International Airport made the top five, coming in third and fourth place respectively. They trail only behind the top-ranked Singapore Changi Airport and Zurich Airport in second place.

We couldn’t agree more with this ranking, as both Haneda and Narita offer great dining options for whatever you may be craving. Both airports are home to outposts of some of the city's most popular eateries, including the wide variety of options at Narita’s Airport Terminal 2 Japan Food Hall. If you're looking to keep yourself busy while waiting for your flight, the Haneda Airport Garden is another great option packed with plenty of dining (and shopping) options.

Here’s the top ten airports listed in the ranking: 

  1. Singapore Changi Airport 
  2. Zurich Airport 
  3. Tokyo International Airport (Haneda Airport) 
  4. Narita International Airport 
  5. Hamad International Airport 
  6. Munich Airport 
  7. Seoul Incheon International Airport 
  8. Dubai International Airport 
  9. Istanbul Airport 
  10. Charles de Gaulle Airport
