Airport <=> Mid-City: Getting into Tokyo by coach from Narita
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you like to travel on the road and/or travel cheaper, take Airport Limousine. You can choose one from a list of destinations that The Limou has depending on where your nest is. Ask on the bus ticket counter in the arrival floor of Narita Airport for the detail.

    It costs a small fortune to take a cab to Tokyo from Narita. Yes, don't be too surprised if you fork out an amount that costs more than your air ticket! The cheaper alternative would be the express train or bus. Just approach this counter upon reaching Narita and decide your mode of transport. The limousine bus is great if you have lots of luggage. The train, on the other hand is lots faster and cheaper. The average cost to getting to town is about US$30.

    Domestic flights take Haneda Airport. If you have a chance to make use of Haneda, 30mins travel between Haneda Airport and Hamamatsucho station in TOKYO MONORAIL would be nice. The monorail runs the height along the Tokyo coast. You can take KEIHIN KYUKO (KEIKYU) if you prefer railways that run on/under the ground.

    Airport <=> Mid-City: Getting into Tokyo by train from Narita
  • Tip Rating:
  • There are two representative rail systems to travel between Narita Airport and the Tokyo mid-city. One is Narita Express (N'EX) by JAPAN RAIL and the other is Skyliner by KEISEI N'EX takes you to the terminal stations not only in Tokyo like Ueno, Tokyo, Shinagawa and Shinjuku but also in Kanagawa and Saitama; Yokohama and Omiya. You can reach to Ueno station directly with Keisei Skyliner. Of cource both rails have the common local lines besides the express.

    Airport <=> Mid-City: Narita Express
  • Tip Rating:
  • A fast and comfortable way to and from the airport. It takes about 1.5 hr from the airport to Shinjuku. I think Its better than taking the bus as traffic jams in Tokyo can be very serious. I checked the train schedule and price before going and it gives me better planning of th time. And remember to buy the return tickets 1 or 2 days before your return date. Another thing: check if you should check in at Terminal 1 or Terminal 2, cuz its 2 different stations!

    Airport <=> Mid-City: Best train line in from Narita
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you think of your options to get into Tokyo as rather similar to buying Japansese electrical products like DVD players then you will get the idea that they will all do the same job reliably - you just pay more for nicer design and added extas. The JR Narita expess is the top-notch 'Sony' product - sleek, expensive (3000yen) and quick (60 mins) Their other airport service is slower (the Panasonic model) by about 20 minutes and 700 yen cheaper. I would only use a JR service if you have already bought a JR pass which can be validated at the airport. The Showy alternative is the 'Skytrain' (JVC model) that runs on the Keisei line. Similar speed at the JR Narita express but comes in at 2000 Yen. For those who don't want to waste their money just to save a few minutes the Keisei line also has local trains (Sanyo perhaps ?) that are basically just metro trains, rather than inter-city type ones (90 minutes +). These come in at around 1000 yen Don't even think about the bus - it's 3000 yen. (Thomsons - French and useless) Take you pick !

    Japan have very good and complicated train network, covering most of the places. From Narita airport, you can take either the Keisei line or JR to Tokyo. I was totally blur when I first saw this route map. I don't know how to read it, where to transfer and how to buy tickets! Well... it become easy for me on the 3rd day onwards, now I can tell where to transfer for a fast train to Shinjuku! (^0^)

    Airport <=> Mid-City: Narita-airport is the...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Narita-airport is the international airport of Tokyo and is situated pretty far from the city itself. 30 kilometres Northwest of town. Trains will transport you from there to any of the three main stations in town (Ueno, Shinjuku or Central station - the last is an exact copy of the Amsterdam central station, which made me truely feel at home - hahaha). Furthermore Tokyo has a smaller, more national airport, that is closer to the citycentre (just South). The Tokyo Metro is a intens network of lines that will bring you anywhere. Watch carefully and you will discover English notes underneath the larger Japanese writings. Also the colours can be very helpful in getting around. Added are busservices (cheap) and taxis (expensive). Together you can freely move around in the city. By the way: going by car is rather difficult, because of the taficdensity. However: buying/renting a car is not that expensive. For the Japanese it is 'having one' that costs incredabely much.

    Airport <=> Mid-City: NARITA EXPRESS
  • Tip Rating:
  • Easiest way getting to Downtown Tokyo is via Narita Express. Reason : 1. After a long journey hours of flight, (not sure you want to take a longer route by bus or taxi) as Tokyo is also famous for traffic jam. 2. Save Time 3. Affordable 4. Convenient Just head to Narita Express counter and get a ticket and dont forget if you as a traveller purchase Japan Rail Pass in advance you may exchange it with the counter as well to start validate your Travel Pass. Save money and less hassle.

    Airport <=> Mid-City: Aeroport Limousine Bus is best option
  • Tip Rating:
  • of course the easiest way to get to Tokyo from Narita aeroport is to jump in a taxi, but not the quickest if it's a rush hour and quite expensive, it can cost you approx.200$. Best thing is to take a bus (Aeroport Limousine Bus), it's easy to find-just outside the arrival hall and it delivers you to downtown hotels, just check what time is departure of the bus which stops near your hotel. Downtown Tokyo may be reached in 60-90min depending on the traffic. My mistake was to pay in Moscow at travel agency 200$ for escorted transfer till my hotel. I know it sounds reduculous, but i read that much about people lost in Tokyo, everything is written in kanji..so i decided better not to take such risk, besides i had only 3 days in Tokyo and i couldnt afford to waist this precious time, was counting every minute.. The guy who met me was russian, but studying at some university in Tokyo, he knew japanese but seemed to me didnt know the city very well...and guess what? He met me and we took this bus from ALB, which i could easily do by myself and to pay 25$, not 200$.. for these 200$ i could take a taxi:) at the end i was hoping the guy at least will tell me something interesting, i was trying to ask questions to him...like how much (approx.) would i have to pay for taxi to get till Asakusa...and he said to me..please show me this location on the map..I knew about Asakusa, and he didnt:)) and all the way till the hotel i had to answer his questions about how life was going on in Russia. Please dont make my mistake!
