Since I just returned to Taiwan from Narita Terminal 2 on October 12, 2022, here's an update on the airport. In the early days after visa-free entry reopened, the departure hall on the third floor was still pretty empty and quiet. About half of the shops and restaurants on the fourth floor were still closed. According to the staff at the open stores, the closed shops would start hiring and training staff from November, so some will reopen then. I believe the airport will get much busier in the future.
Also, there's now a new low-cost bus (LCB) running between Narita Airport and Tokyo since August 2022. It goes to places like Kawaguchi, Toyosu Market, Ikebukuro, Shibuya, and Ginza. A one-way ticket is less than JPY 2,000, so it's definitely worth considering for your next trip.

Tama Central Park
Tama Central Park is a vast urban park covering Approx. 110,000 square meters, conveniently located about a 5-minute walk from Tama-Center Station.
The café is lovely. The playground equipment is also very clean, and kids will get so caught up playing that they’ll lose track of time.

Sanrio Puroland
Guests can meet Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty and My Melody at this indoor theme park. Sanrio characters put on authentic performances like shows and parades that mix stories, dances, and songs together.
I bought a ton of Sanrio exclusives, and when I walked out there were those gacha machines next door that totally make your eyes spin...
Remember to bring enough coins!〜！ -

TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY
Developed by JR East, Takanawa Gateway City is a bold urban redevelopment project transforming a former train yard into a 9.5-hectare next-generation smart city. Centered around the newly completed Takanawa Gateway Station, the complex is slated for four high-rise towers and a low-rise cultural facility, bringing together commercial spaces, hotels, offices, residences, a multipurpose cultural center, and an international conference hall.
It was actually more fun to explore than I expected! The self-driving cars weren't that impressive (but not bad either). The whole place really gives off a futuristic city vibe! 😲
