十月二十一日(jyugatsu nijyuichi nichi): October 21

Today the new runway and the international terminal building of Haneda (羽田) Airport in Tokyo (東京) opened. It was used to be the main air gateway to Japan until 1978 when the Narita (成田) Airport opened. Since 2002 all international regular flights have been operated in Narita. There will be 17 international routes to such as Bangkok, Paris, New York, Los Angeles and so on. The access to the airport has also become convenient by making a new train station. Furthermore the airport is 24 hours open.
They say there were more than 50,000 people visited and used the new airport today.
I hope to travel from Haneda near future too.
