Tokyo Narita Airport, Japan’s main international gateway, has had a 60 percent drop in foreigners arriving from overseas since an earthquake caused a crisis at a nuclear-power plant.
About 67,000 foreigners landed at the airport from March 11 to March 22 on international flights, Taichi Iseki, a spokesman for the Immigration Bureau of Japan’s Narita branch, said today by phone. The number leaving was about 190,000, a “small increase” from a year earlier, he said.
