International carriers tend to have the best lounges. The ANA Lounge at Narita Airport in Tokyo, Japan is the perfect example.

Use the foreign currency exchange to switch money to your next currency. Relax at the Refresh Salon, showers and massage chairs. Eat at the Noodle Bar or drink at the Sake Bar.
