Universal Design Principles

Giving All Passengers Peace of Mind When Traveling

Dedicated to Universal Design

Tokyo International Air Terminal offers a barrier-free, user-friendly experience for all travelers. The Universal Design Committee has gone to great lengths, drawing from a wide array of experts to accommodate everyone. Employees receive training and workshops to better help visitors and give universal access. Experts continue improving the airport and making changes in response to interviews and expert opinions while experimenting with new ideas. Universal access is reflected in every aspect of the International Air Terminal from planning to building and operations.

Restrooms and Multipurpose Restrooms

Standard restroom facilities offer a more spacious environment, and accessible restrooms accommodate those with physical challenges or parents of infants.

Japan Restroom Award
Tokyo International Air Terminal also received the Japan Restroom Award from the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism.

Universal Design Passenger Boarding Bridge

Tokyo International Air Terminal became the first airport to use a step-free passenger boarding bridge, offering travelers in wheelchairs a smooth passage to and from the airplane.

Level Luggage Check

At Tokyo Haneda, luggage can easily be rolled onto the luggage check, rather than lifting it onto a platform.
