羽田空港

羽田空港　展望デッキ

羽田空港では3つターミナル全てに展望デッキがある。入場料もなく、眺めも良いので搭乗時間まで時間を潰すには良い場所かもしれない。ここは小さな男の子連れのファミリーにとっては素晴らしい場所だろう。のべつまくなしに発着する飛行機を間近に見ることが出来るので、普段は走り回って君達の言うことなど全く聞かない彼らも、ここでは大喜びで歓声を上げるだけで、基本的には良い子でいてくれる。 3つのターミナルの展望デッキは向いている方角がそれぞれ違うため、見ることの出来る景色が全て異なる。各ターミナルの展望デッキの特徴を以下で記す。第1ターミナルの展望デッキ(国内線/6階＋屋上) 高層ビル群や東京湾、(天気が良い時は)富士山など360度のパノラマを楽しむことが出来る。ここは西向きのデッキなので夕陽が素晴らしく、また南側にある大きな工業地帯の夜景も美しい。第2ターミナルの展望デッキ(国内線/5階) 東京湾を行き交う船や大きな橋など湾岸エリアのパノラマを楽しむことが出来る。が、ここで一番素晴らしいのは、日没後のイルミネーションだ。約4000個のLEDによる照明が滑走路の光と合わさって非常にロマンチックだ。屋内には滑走路を見ながら食事ができるレストランもあるので、デートにも使える。第3ターミナルの展望デッキ(国際線/5階) 滑走路までの距離が遠いため、飛行機が離着陸する際の迫力が国内線ターミナルの展望デッキと比べると少し落ちる。ただ、第1ターミナルビルや管制塔など飛行場らしいものが良く見えるし、国際線ターミナルだけあって世界中から飛んできた色とりどりの航空機を見ることが出来るので、一番「飛行場にいる」と感じることが出来る場所だ。
