There are several options for traveling the frustratingly long distance between Narita Airport and central Tokyo and vice versa, although not all are practical. Taxi or limo service is an option if you're a multi-millionaire, but totally unreasonable for anyone else. Package tours may provide bus transfers, but that doesn't help you if you're free traveling. Besides, with Tokyo's notorious traffic it could take you hours to reach the city/airport by vehicle. You could take a local metro train line, but it probably makes a thousand stops before reaching your destination and is quite uncomfortable.
So, if you want a relatively affordable (the key word here being "relatively"), fast, and comfortable way into the city, the best option is the Narita Express JR Line. Trains depart from Narita and major stations in the city every hour or half hour at peak times. It takes roughly an hour to cover the distance from the airport to Tokyo station and 90 minutes to Shinjuku station. The seating is assigned when you purchase your ticket, which can be done at the airport in the arrival hall after you clear customs or from the automatic vending machines in the city stations. The standard one-way fare is 2940YEN (~$29US) to/from Tokyo station, which may sound quite expensive... that is unless you've actually spent any time in Tokyo! $$$
Y3,000 or $30 one way from Narita into Tokyo. Note: a taxi from Narita is around $200 USD. Airport Limosine bus stops at major hotels and at major train stations, such as Shinjuku or Tokyo station for those catching a shinkansen. If you have alot of luggage and are coming from a long flight you may not want to deal with the Narita express train.
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!
A yen saving tip to travelers to Tokyo: For
those with more time than money, take the limited express Keisei Line from Narita Airport to Ueno (which will connect you to the Tokyo subway) for only 1,000
yen (Narita Express, Keisei Skyliner, and shuttle bus--~3,000 yen--are about double that price). It ll take about 75 minutes--less than 20 minutes later than the faster
options.
Depending on traffic, it will probably take you an hour and a half from Narita airport to a hotel in Shinjuku (business centre), a little less to Ginza and Akasaka. The first thing to avoid are taxis, they drive very slow and cost an absolute fortune. The LIMOUSINE BUS services are much cheaper and will take you directly to your hotel.
A trip from Narita airport to a hotel in Shinjuku is JPY 3000 (approx. USD 25)
Best and most comfortable way to get to Japan is by air,
Once you are in the coutry the best way to get around is by the most morden rail and train systems in the world
'THE SHINKANSEN' we in the west call it the BULLET TRAIN
If you're in the upper echelons of your corporation, perhaps you'll opt for a helicopter into Tokyo. And there's always the train, which is comfortable and speedy, but it simply takes you to a station, from which you must navigate via subway or taxi to your ultimate destination. A better way, at least if that destination is one of the major hotels (or is close to one), is to take the bus. Airport Limousine is relatively cheap (Y3000), and has about thirty different routes to cover various parts of the city. The only downside is that you may wait an hour for the bus going to your specific destination.
This is from the company website: Passengers departing from Narita Airport shall purchase tickets in advance at our counters located inside the terminal building. We have 2 ticket counters in Terminal 2, 5 ticket counters in Terminal 1. Bus stop, departure time and your destination are printed on your boarding ticket. Please check your boarding ticket before proceeding to the bus stop.
Get this from the airport - it is cheap and drops off at the major hotels in central Tokyo. It is a lot easier on a first visit than trying to navigate the public transport system.
They then pick you up when you need to return to the airport (just book through your hotel concierge)
The limousine bus to and from Narita Airport costs ¥3,000. From Narita: buy a ticket from the counter is on the ground floor, bus departs from stand nearby. From Shinjuku station Stand 23 - same again, bus ticket and departure point are adjacent. Also enquire at hotel for hotel pick-up by bus.
