A Japanese tourist who spent three months living in Mexico City's airport has returned home.
Airport spokesman Victor Mejia says Hiroshi Nohara left Monday on a flight for Japan via San Francisco.
Nohara arrived in Mexico City on Sept 2 and spent the next three months at a food court in Terminal 1 of Benito Juarez International Airport.
His residency there made him a local celebrity and Mexican news programmes ran regular updates on his life.
Nohara left the airport on Dec 31 to stay with a woman who invited him to her Mexico City apartment. But it was reported that Nohara returned to the airport on Sunday carrying three plastic bags with his clothes and blankets.
