Narita → Shinjuku with Luggage: The Easiest Ways (2026 Guide)
With big suitcases, the “best” route is usually the one with the fewest transfers and the least walking. Here are the simplest options you can actually rely on.

Quick Answer (Pick 1)
1) Private transfer (door-to-door) — easiest with luggage
If you’re traveling with big luggage, kids, or multiple people, a pre-booked car is the least stressful option—especially after a long flight.
